## Tufts Men's Lacrosse Players Hospitalized Following Workout Led By Graduate of Navy SEAL Training Program Tufts University's men's lacrosse team has temporarily suspended activities after several players were hospitalized following a workout led by a recent graduate of the Navy SEAL training program. The workout was organized through the school's athletic training department, and it featured exercises designed to enhance fitness and endurance. Players reported feeling unwell during the workout, which included lifting weights, running, and swimming. After the workout, eleven players were evaluated by medical staff at the university's health center. Eight players were deemed healthy enough to go home, but three players were transported to the hospital for further treatment. The three hospitalized players were reportedly suffering from dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and heat exhaustion. One of the players was admitted to the hospital overnight for observation, while the other two were released after receiving intravenous fluids and electrolytes. The university has launched an investigation into the incident and has placed the athletic training staff on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The investigation will focus on the planning and execution of the workout, as well as the medical staff's response to the players' injuries. The university has also contacted the Navy SEAL training program to inquire about the workout regimen and the qualifications of the graduate who led the workout. The incident has raised concerns about the use of extreme fitness programs in college athletics. Some experts have argued that these programs can be dangerous, especially for young athletes who are not properly trained. Others have defended the use of these programs, arguing that they can help athletes reach their full potential. The university has not yet released any statement on its plans for future workouts led by outside instructors. It is likely that the incident will prompt the university to review its policies and procedures regarding the use of these programs. **References:** * [Tufts University Statement on Men's Lacrosse Incident](https://tuftsjournal.tufts.edu/news/tufts-statement-on-mens-lacrosse-incident) * [Navy SEAL Training Program](https://www.navyseals.com/) * [Dehydration and Electrolyte Imbalance](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dehydration/symptoms-causes/syc-20354086) * [Heat Exhaustion](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heat-exhaustion/symptoms-causes/syc-20373196)
