| Abstract | ||
| Background: Numerous disorders have been connected to vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D's nutritional status is determined by exposure to sunshine as well as dietary or supplemental consumption. Exercise, however, has been shown in recent research to affect circulating 25(OH) D levels. Purpose: This study was conducted to explore the influence of whole body vibration in improving vitamin D absorption in women. Materials and Methods: Initially, 40 women with vitamin D deficiency were randomly divided into two groups: Control group A (n = 20) received vitamin D supplement and group B (n = 20) received whole body vibration (WBV) trained three times a week for 8 weeks plus vitamin D supplement. Both groups receiving either a high dose (1600 IU/day) of vitamin D3. Vitamin D/week for 2 months. The optimal circulating vitamin D concentration was preliminarily assessed based on the parathyroid hormone response so concentration of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone were measured pre- and post-treatment. Results: There was a notable rise in concentration of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone of both groups post treatment compared with that pretreatment (p > 0.025). Also, there was a significant increase in vitamin D and parathyroid hormone of WBV group compared with that of control group post treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusions: WBV training have been demonstrated to enhance women's bone health, muscle strength, and balance, there is a dearth of concrete research evaluating their effects on vitamin D absorption. WBV has been shown to improve vitamin D status overall. | ||
