AB  - This  is  an  inherited  condition  of  abnormal  hemoglobin  production.  This  condition  rarely  results  in  a  sickling  crisis  and  is  managed  differently  from  sickle  cell  disease.  An  exertional  sickling  crisis  usually  occurs  when  athletes  or  military  personnel  with  this  condition  overexert  themselves,  resulting  in  sickling  of  red  blood  cells,  which  causes  clotting  and  ischemic  rhabdomyolysis.1  Most  individuals  with  sickle  cell  trait  do  not  have  painful  crises  and  can  participate  in  regular  recreational  and  competitive  activities,  but  abnormalities  of  red  blood  cell  parameters  may  influence  their  aerobic  exercise  tolerance.2,3  Dehydration,  viral  illness,  abrupt  changes  in  altitude,  and  exercising  in  heat  conditions  are  risk  factors  for  developing  exertional  sickling.1,4
