The primary objective of this study was to determine the effects of vitamin D levels on peripheral pulse wave velocity (pPWV) following acute maximal exercise in healthy young adults. Fifty male healthy adults from National Chung Cheng University participated in the study. Participants were divided into the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) sufficiency group (n = 28, 25(OH)D ≥ 50 nmol/L) and deficiency group (n = 22, 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L). The acute maximal exercise was performed using an incremental cycling test to exhaustion. Additionally, the pPWV and blood pressure were obtained at rest and 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 min after acute maximal exercise. The results show that 25(OH)D deficiency group had higher pPWV at post-exercise (5.34 ± 0.71 vs. 4.79 ± 0.81 m/s, p < 0.05), post-exercise 15 min (5.13 ± 0.53 vs. 4.48 ± 0.66 m/s, p < 0.05) and post-exercise 30 min (5.26 ± 0.84 vs. 4.78 ± 0.50 m/s, p < 0.05) than the sufficiency group. Furthermore, there was a significant inverse correlation between 25(OH)D levels and pPWV following acute maximal exercise. Our study demonstrated that low vitamin D status relates to the poor response of pPWV following maximal exercise in healthy young men. Vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of incident cardiovascular events after acute exhaustive exercise, even in healthy and active adults.
本研究的主要目的是确定健康年轻成年人急性最大运动后维生素 D 水平对周围脉搏波速度（pPWV）的影响。来自国立中正大学的 50 名健康男性成年人参加了这项研究。参与者分为 25-羟维生素 D（25（OH）D）充足组（n = 28，25（OH）D≥50 nmol/L）和不足组（n = 22，25（OH）D <50 nmol/L）。急性最大运动采用递增式踏车试验至力竭。此外，在急性最大运动后即刻、0、15、30、45 和 60 分钟时测量 pPWV 和血压。结果显示，25（OH）D 不足组在运动后（5.34 ± 0.71 对 4.79 ± 0.81 m/s，p < 0.05）、运动后 15 分钟（5.13 ± 0.53 对 4.48 ± 0.66 m/s，p < 0.05）和运动后 30 分钟（5.26 ± 0.84 对 4.78 ± 0.50 m/s，p < 0.05）时的 pPWV 更高。此外，25（OH）D 水平与急性最大运动后 pPWV 呈显著负相关。我们的研究表明，低维生素 D 状态与健康年轻男性最大运动后 pPWV 反应不良有关。维生素 D 缺乏可能会增加急性剧烈运动后心血管事件的发生风险，即使在健康和活跃的成年人中也是如此。
