Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It is called as rhabdomyolysis.
2. Protein diet with rest is essential. He should avoid further exertion, otherwise he might get muscle tears.
3. Renal functions needs to be evaluated to avoid renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis which will clog the kidney.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
