Ultra-Marathon-Induced Increase in Serum Levels of Vitamin D Metabolites: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Purpose: While an increasing number of studies demonstrate the importance of vitamin D for athletic performance, the effects of any type of exercise on vitamin D metabolism are poorly characterized. We aimed to identify the responses of some vitamin D metabolites to ultra-marathon runs. Methods: A repeated-measures design was implemented, in which 27 amateur runners were assigned into two groups: those who received a single dose of vitamin D3 (150,000 IU) 24 h before the start of the marathon (n = 13) and thos… Show more

“…According to some reports, a portion of vitamin D is liberated into the blood during exercise [ 12 ]. Here, accordingly to our previous study [ 9 ], we observed that the levels of 25(OH)D, a vitamin D status marker, significantly increased after the ultramarathon, more so in the supplemented group than in the control group. Hence, elevated vitamin D levels play a key role in the modulation of the inflammatory response in terms of serum marker levels.…”

“…This study is a continuation of previous investigation [ 9 ] aimed to assess the impact of single high dose of vitamin D on vitamin D metabolites in ultramarathon runners and is a part of the project: Vitamin D as a Factor Modifying Adaptation to Exercise.…”

“…Moreover, it has been shown that circulating 1,25(OH)2D3 correlates better with skeletal muscle strength and muscle genes expression than 25(OH)D3 [ 26 ]. Remember that exercise-induced changes in vitamin D metabolism and formation of some metabolites with no classical vitamin D activity like antioxidant or anti-inflammatory can be expected [ 37 ]. Thus, knowing the blood concentration of 1,25(OH)2D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and 3-epi-25(OH)D3, in addition to 25(OH)D3 in both groups, could help better to explain the effects of vitamin D supplementation on the outcome of the rehabilitation.…”

“…In addition, exercise by itself can modify vitamin D metabolism. For example, 30 min of cycling signi cantly increases serum 25(OH)D 3 levels [19], beside endurance exercise has been shown to increase serum concentration of 24,25(OH) 2 D 3 , 3-epi-25(OH)D [28]. Further, the effect of exercise on the osteoblast and osteoclast metabolism, in addition to the direct effect of loading, is also modi ed by myokines, such as IL-6, IGF-1, FGF2, and others [29, [30].…”
