Figure 7From: Supplemental vitamin D enhances the recovery in peak isometric force shortly after intense exercisePerceived muscle soreness (cm). Perceived soreness in the gluteus, quadriceps, hamstrings, or calves were not significantly different between the placebo and supplemental vitamin D groups. (A-B) Gluteus soreness increased in the SSC leg at Post (1P < 0.05 vs. 24-h and 168-h), 24-h (2P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, 72-h, and 168-h), 48-h (3P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, and 168-h), and 72-h (4P < 0.05 vs. 168-h). Gluteus soreness was significantly (#P < 0.05) different between the CON and SSC leg at 24-h. (C-D) Quadriceps soreness increased in the SSC leg at Post (5P < 0.05 vs. Pre, 24-h, 48-h, and 168-h), 24-h (2P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, 72-h, and 168-h), 48-h (2P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, 72-h, and 168-h), and 72-h (3P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, and 168-h). Quadriceps soreness was significantly (#P < 0.05) different between the CON and SSC leg at 24-h, 48-h, and 72-h. (E-F) Hamstring soreness increased at 24-h (3P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, and 168-h) and 48-h (3P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, and 168-h). Hamstring soreness was significantly (#P < 0.05) different between the CON and SSC leg at 24-h. (G-H) Calf soreness increased at Post (3P < 0.05 vs. Bsl, Pre, and 168-h) and 24-h (6P < 0.05 vs. 72-h and 168-h). Calf soreness was not significantly different between the CON and SSC legs.
