Description
There is widespread concern for inadequate Vitamin D concentration in the human population. In particular a large body of research exists showing evidence for increased performance with increased Vitamin D status as well as a host of issues, from decreased performance, injury to infection, that are associated with decreased Vitamin D concentrations. Research has shown that in certain diseased states canines follow human trends of decreased Vitamin D concentrations. In this lecture we examine Vitamin D, the existing research in human athletes and look at a population of racing sled dogs and evaluate the Vitamin D status changes that occur over the course of an endurance event.
