Vitamin D is thought to regulate skeletal muscle function and boost physical performance. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between vitamin D and physical performance in physically active children. This cross-sectional study included 125 children who practice football as a leisure activity. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) was assessed using a chemiluminescence immunoassay method. Vitamin D inadequacy was defined as 25-OHD < 20 ng/mL. Physical performance testing included…

Associations of Vitamin D Levels with Physical Fitness and Motor Performance; A Cross-Sectional Study in Youth Soccer Players from Southern Croatia

The results support the idea that vitamin D can play a determinant role in physical fitness tests with a clear physiological component, but is not crucial in motor performance tests related to specific sports where skills are a key component.

Vitamin D Status and Health Outcomes in School Children in Northern Ireland: Year One Results from the D-VinCHI Study

Over half of the children recruited from November 2019 to March 2020 were vitamin D deficient or insufficient, and wintertime supplementation, the consumption of vitamin D rich foods and spring/summer outdoor activities should be encouraged to minimise the risk of vitaminD inadequacy.

A single mega dose of vitamin D3 improves selected physical variables in vitamin D insufficient young amateur soccer players: a randomized controlled trial.

A single bolus of VD3 resulted in significant improvements in jumping ability, agility, and running speed in VD-insufficient mildly trained children, suggesting that correcting VD deficit might be beneficial for physical performance.

Relationship between vitamin D and physical activity: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Although the evidence available so far, from observational studies of medium quality, can be seen as showing a trend towards an association between sufficient serum levels of 25(OH)D and physical activity, this relationship has been shown.

S-25OHD Is Associated With Hand Grip Strength and Myopathy at 5 Years in Girls: An Odense Child Cohort Study

Five-year S-25OHD was independently associated with HGS and myopathy in girls but not in boys, suggesting muscle strength may be dependent on vitamin D status even in the higher range in preschool girls.

Vitamin D and Stress Fractures in Sport: Preventive and Therapeutic Measures—A Narrative Review

There are numerous risk factors for stress fractures that have been identified in literature and a prolonged lack of vitamin D (25(OH)D) can lead to stress fractures in athletes since 25( OH)D insufficiency is associated with an increased incidence of a fracture.

Influences of Vitamin D and Iron Status on Skeletal Muscle Health: A Narrative Review

There is conflicting evidence of the roles vitamin D and iron have in isolation and combined in relation to muscle health, and how these nutrients are associated with skeletal muscle health in specific populations is examined.

Relationship between Serum 25OH-Vitamin D2 Level and Vitamin D Status of Children Aged 3–5 Years in China

Vitamin D2 may play a role in preventing vitamin D deficiency in Chinese children aged 3–5 years and to assess the role of vitamin D2, a dietary vitamin D source, against the vitamin D status of children aged 1–3 years in China.

Is vitamin D deficiency a public health concern for low middle income countries? A systematic literature review

A comprehensive systematic literature review of available data on vitamin D status and prevalence in low and lower-middle income countries revealed that there is a clear need for targeting public health strategies for prevention of vitamin D deficiency in those LMICs with excess burden.

Is Vitamin D Deficiency Implicated in Autonomic Dysfunction?

Overall, this literature review implicates Vitamin D deficiency in autonomic dysfunction and elucidates the potential therapeutic role of Vitamin D in autonomIC disorders.

Vitamin D concentrations and physical performance in competitive adolescent swimmers.

In competitive adolescent swimmers, serum vitamin D concentrations were not associated with strength, balance or swimming performance, and no significant differences found between vitamin D sufficient, insufficient and deficient participants.

Association Between Vitamin D Status and Maximal-Intensity Exercise Performance in Junior and Collegiate Hockey Players

The data indicate that if vitamin D status is causally related to maximal-intensity exercise performance in athletes, the effect size is likely small, and interventional trials should investigate the impact of vitamin D supplementation on maximal- intensity exercise performance outcomes and rate of force development in large samples ofitamin D–deficient athletes while controlling for training exposure.

Vitamin D status and muscle function in post-menarchal adolescent girls.

Vitamin D was significantly associated with muscle power and force in adolescent girls, and this was a cross-sectional study based on a two-legged counter movement jump and force from multiple one-legged hops.

The results of this study support a possible link between decreased vitamin D status and one particular marker of inflammation, and call further attention to the epidemic of vitamin D insufficiency, even in outdoor athletes.

Assessment of vitamin D concentration in non-supplemented professional athletes and healthy adults during the winter months in the UK: implications for skeletal muscle function

The current data supports previous findings that athletes living at Northerly latitudes (UK = 53° N) exhibit inadequate vitamin D concentrations and suggests that inadequateitamin D concentration is detrimental to musculoskeletal performance in athletes.

Vitamin D and Exercise Performance in Professional Soccer Players

It is suggested that vitamin D levels are associated with the ergometric evaluation of muscle strength, as expressed by SJ and CMJ, sprinting capacity, and VO2max in professional soccer players, irrespective the levels of performance.

Vitamin D status and determinants of deficiency in non-supplemented athletes during the winter months in Tunisia

Targeting sufficient levels of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D in athletes is well justified, as athletes living in sun-rich environments are exposed to a high risk of vitamin D inadequacy.

Vitamin D and Its Role in Skeletal Muscle

This review discusses the clinical and laboratory studies that have examined a role of vitamin D in skeletal muscle and indicates that vitamin D status is positively associated with muscle strength and physical performance and inversely associated with risk of falling.

Muscle function was affected to a similar degree in women with and without bone involvement (as indicated by elevated ALP), and serum levels of ALP cannot be used in the screening for hypovitaminosis D myopathy.
