Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on biochemistry response and skeletal muscle synthesis in prolonged endurance exercise.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Endurance exercise mode will be used to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardiac biomarkers, metabolic hormones, oxidative damage, and inflammation responses. An independent samples and dose titration design will be used to assign 30 participants to the experimental group (n = 15) or placebo group (n = 15). All participants in the experimental group will have serum 25(OH)D concentrations higher than 48 ng/mL after supplementation period. After the prolonged endurance exercise test, the blood samples will be collected for analyzing biomarkers. Data will be analyzed by Two-way mixed design ANOVA.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vitamin D group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vitamin D

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants received 5,000 IU of vitamin D orally twice daily for 4 weeks. If the serum 25(OH)D concentration exceeds 48 ng/mL, the intervention remains the same. However, if the serum 25(OH)D concentration is under 48 ng/mL, the dosage would increase by 2,500 IU. The principle remains the same at week 6.

Placebo group

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Medium-chain triglycerides

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants received the same amount of placebo matching vitamin D orally twice daily.
