Abstract
Purpose Iron deficiency is known to impair muscle function and reduce athletic performance, while vitamin D has been reported to induce iron deficiency. However, the mechanism underlying exercise-induced changes in iron metabolism and the involvement of vitamins in this mechanism are unclear.Methods We examined changes in biological iron metabolism induced by continuous training and the effects of vitamin D on these changes. Diet, physical characteristics, and blood test data were collected from 23 female high school students in a dance club over a 2-month period of continuous training and rest periods.Results Serum hepcidin-25 levels were significantly lower during the training period than the rest period (p = 0.013), as were the red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit (all p < 0.001). Serum erythropoietin was significantly higher (p = 0.001) during the training period. Significant positive correlations were observed between 25(OH)D levels and serum iron, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation during the training period.Conclusion Multiple regression analysis with serum 25(OH)D level as the dependent variable and serum ferritin and iron levels as independent variables during the training period revealed a significant association with serum ferritin. Therefore, the relationship between serum 25(OH)D and iron in vivo may be closely related to metabolic changes induced by the exercise load.
