“…Vitamin D3 helps to prevent rickets and osteomalacia in children and adults. Vitamin D3, in addition to calcium, aids in the prevention of osteoporosis in the elderly (Chatterjee et al 2014). Vitamin D3 can be obtained from food, especially fatty fish (Lips 2006).…”

Thermophilic bacteria are a source of bioactive compounds that have many benefits for human life. One of them is as a source of antimicrobials. This research aimed to identify and characterize the promising thermophilic bacterial isolates by analyzing bioactive compounds and their potential as antimicrobial agents. Thermophilic bacteria with the code LBKURCC were taken from the collection of the Biochemistry Laboratory of the University of Riau. Forty-four purified strains of thermophilic bacteria were tested for antimicrobial ability. These thermophilic bacteria were taken from hot springs located in the Sumatra provinces of West Sumatra and Riau. Strain LBKURCC218 isolated from Rimbo Panti hot springs in West Sumatra was chosen to further investigate antimicrobials production. Isolates of hot spring bacteria that produced the highest antimicrobial were identified by comparing the similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. BLAST result and phylogenetic tree showed that the selected thermophilic bacterial strain was similar to Bacillus paramicoides with the similarity index of 99.93%. Analysis of bioactive compounds of the ethyl acetate extract of liquid cultures of B. paramycoides LBKURCC218 showed the best producer of antimicrobial compounds compared to other isolates. The most identified compounds from the ethyl acetate extract were Dodecanoic acid, representing 23.62% of the total compounds, followed by 11-Dodecanoic acid at 17.84%. Ethyl acetate extract of B. paramycoides LBKURCC218 has a high inhibition zone against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.

“…Among other things, it is involved in the regulation of exercise-induced inflammation, neurological function, cardiovascular health, glucose metabolism, bone health, and skeletal muscle performance [7]. More specifically, it is attributed with an ergogenic effect on neuromuscular efficiency and the muscle-contraction mechanism [8,9], as well as optimizing acute adaptive response to physical exercise [10], so that performance in athletes may be affected by deficient levels of this vitamin [11,12].…”

“…Therefore, it seems that vitamin D deficiency is accentuated in athletes who train and compete indoors throughout the year, as is the case of basketball. Taking also into account the relationship between vitamin D and the aforementioned optimization of muscle contraction [8,9] and/or prevention of bone health issues [7], it seems that this deficiency is particularly important in a sport that involves continuous accelerations and braking, jumps and receptions [18]. The rate of force development in the lower extremity is of the utmost importance [19,20], and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries is high [21].…”

This study aimed to verify whether a group of young well-trained basketball players presented deficiencies in vitamin D concentration, and to analyze whether there was an association between vitamin D concentration and jumping and hopping performance. Gender differences were considered. Twenty-seven players from an international high-level basketball club (14 female, 16.00 ± 0.55 years; 13 male, 15.54 ± 0.52 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. Rate of force development was evaluated by means of the Abalakov test (bilateral: AbB; right leg: AbR; left leg: AbL); and the triple hop test (right leg: THR; left leg: THL). Blood samples were collected for the determination of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and nutritional status. Vitamin D insufficiency was found in both women (29.14 ± 6.08 ng/mL) and men (28.92 ± 6.40 ng/mL), with no gender differences regarding nutritional scores. Jumping and hopping performance was confirmed to be significantly larger in males (AbL, THR, and THL p < 0.005), whose CV% were always smaller. A positive correlation was found between AbB and vitamin D (r = 0.703) in males, whereas this correlation was negative (−0.611) for females, who also presented a negative correlation (r = −0.666) between THR and vitamin D. A prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was confirmed in young elite athletes training indoors. Nutritional (i.e., calciferol) controls should be conducted throughout the season. Furthermore, whilst performance seems to be affected by low levels of this vitamin in men, these deficiencies appear to have a different association with jumping and hopping in women, pointing to different performance mechanisms. Further studies accounting for differences in training and other factors might delve into these gender differences.

Objective: A sufficient amount of vitamin D levels; while protein synthesis, muscle strength, jumping height, speed, exercise capacity, and physical performance increase; stress fractures cause a decrease in the rates of injury, fall, muscle relaxation, muscle pain, and weakness. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are very important for maintaining and improving optimal performance in football players. The formation of free radicals and oxidative stress during exercise is known to affect optimal performance and recovery period after exercise. The aim of the study was to determine serum 25(OH)D and total antioxidant capacity of professional football players. Methods: The study group consists of 56 professional football players (26 players from the first team, 30 players from the academy team) playing in Giresunspor Football Club. The control group consisted of 30 volunteer healthy male subjects. The SPSS 21 package program was used to calculate and interpret the survey data applied face to face to the study group. In addition, the body composition of the players was determined by the InBody 230 device which works with the principle of bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA). Serum 25(OH)D levels of the football players were compared with reference values (≥30 ng / mL). Serum 25(OH)D levels were determined by immunoassay method on the Roche Cobas e411 branded test analyzer. Serum total antioxidant capacity was compared with 30 healthy volunteers in the control group. Total antioxidant capacity measurements were studied with the ready-to-use kit. The method previously described for the kit has been applied to Architect c8000 clinical chemistry autoanalyzer. Results: As a result of the study, mean serum 25(OH)D levels of the players were determined as 31.68 ng / mL. The mean serum antioxidant capacity of the participants was found to be 1.97 mmol Trolox Equiv/L. The mean serum antioxidant capacity of the control group was 1.94 mmol Trolox Equiv/L. Conclusion: Mean serum 25(OH)D levels of the players were within the reference range (≥30 ng/mL). There is an increase in metabolic rate during training, which leads to a rapid release of free radicals. Despite this thought, there was no significant difference in serum total antioxidant capacity between the study and control groups.
