Vitamin D - A Probable Performance Boosting Mediator in Athletes
Journal Title: Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Therapy - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Vitamin D positively influences athletic performance by improving strength, power, speed, cardio respiratory fitness, reaction time, coordination, and body composition. Debatable opinion exists regarding the exact role of Vitamin–D (Vit–D) which is supplemented in the form of Vit–D3 to improve sports performance. Proper dose of Vit–D3 supplementation among athletes has been recommended since lower Vit–D level is a common feature in athletes. Direct association of Vit–D level and athletic performance has not yet been confirmed. The present attempt was aimed to review the concept of Vit–D induced improvement in athletic performance and also to explore the guidelines of Vit–D3 supplementation improve health and performance in adolescent athletes.
