Abstract

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 4 weeks of speed swimming training with vitamin D3 supplementation on some serum markers of angiogenesis in female swimmers.

 Methods: In this research, 40 volunteer female swimmers were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10: supplement, placebo, exercise-supplement, and exercise-placebo. The training protocol included the implementation of high-speed breaststroke swimming, which was performed 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Fasting blood samples were measured at baseline and 48 hours after the last activity session. The supplement groups took 1000 units of vitamin D3 daily in capsules and the placebo groups took the same amount of maltodextrin.

Results: The results of the paired t-test showed that the serum levels of VEGF and endostatin increased and decreased significantly (P = 0.001) only in the exercise-supplement groups. Also, the comparison of the results between the groups showed that in the post-test phase, there was a significant difference in favor of the exercise-supplement group in terms of the measurement of the indicators. In other words, the amount of changes in the exercise-supplement group was significantly higher than the other groups (P ≥ 0.05).

Conclusion: Although swimming training alone was effective on VEGF and endostatin, the effect of swimming training along with vitamin D3 consumption was much higher, but vitamin D consumption alone did not have a significant effect on the serum levels of VEGF and endostatin.
