Follow-up: Hospitalized Texas Woman's University volleyball players had changes to fitness testing
More details have been released about the fitness testing for Texas Woman's University volleyball players in the days before eight were hospitalized and diagnosed with rhabomyolysis.
On Friday, the university outlined the training regimen and changes made to the player's fitness test.
