Thanks for the information in Chinese! The English medical term for this is called "rhabdomyolysis". It is a rapid breakdown of the skeletal muscles ~ a type of metabolic disease. It also occurs to people (especially older people) after they slip and fall down accidentally. It is life threatening if not treated immediately and they always end up in the intensive care unit. I see them at work all the time.
Use running as an example, a runner needs only approximately 17 to 24 oz. of fluid for every hour of running. Too much water intake will cause water intoxication which is fatal too.
