Recognition
According to a case report, early recognition of Rhabdomyolysis may help prevent injury or in more serious case, death. Some signs and symptoms to help with recognition include swelling in the muscle region where it may have been over-exerted, muscle cramping, and the most well-known sign relating to rhabdomyolysis, dark – colored urine. In addition to recognizing rhadomyolysis during physical activity, additional prevention is available before physical activity takes place.

Training
Because this condition is caused by strenuous physical activity, it is important to engage in a proper warm-up relating to the activity, to prepare the body and prevent injuries. However, warming up before an activity may not be an effective way to prevent rhabdomyolysis. There are people who may not know their physical abilities. These people are not conditioned enough for the activity and overexertion can occur. Starting at low to moderate intensities of exercise prevent excess muscle damage. In addition, progressively training to get to a certain level for activity is another effective way to prevent the condition to unfold.

Hydration
In a world with various temperatures, heat is something to watch out for. Hydration and weather acclimation during any physical activity or exercise is important, especially in the heat. Depending on how much sweat is lost and the temperature of the environment, hydration levels should help maintain the body’s core temperature to 36 to 38 degrees Celsius in the process of thermoregulation. Research suggests that water should be consumed before during and after exercise. In summary, rhabdomyolysis is a preventative condition. As mentioned, early recognition, progressive training, proper hydration and heat acclimation are preventative measures for reducing the risk of rhabdomyolysis.
