A pair of teenage girls were rushed to hospital with kidney damage after a three hour squatting match got out of hand.

Xiao Tang, 19, did over 1000 squats to be crowned champion despite admitting she was ‘not used to exercise’.The duo squatted for two to three hours to see who had the best stamina, before mutually giving in. But their bid to out-squat each other backfired when they woke up the next day with aching legs and brown urine.

Xiao told China Press: ‘This is too embarrassing to say. I was chatting with [my friend] in Guandong over the Internet.‘Something was wrong in the morning.‘First of all, my leg was not only sore, but I couldn’t bend it. Then I went to the bathroom and [my] urine was brown.’Xio knew her symptoms were not a good sign and sort medical treatment.Dead muscle fibers – in this case, due to extreme levels of exercise – are released into the bloodstream, which can lead to kidney failure or even death.

He said squatting isn’t usually dangerous but it was likely the girls exerted themselves well above their physical limits.
