Perceived 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.
