About this study
Official title: Impact of Vitamin D Supplementation on Strength and Lean Mass Accumulation During an Exercise Intervention
The study was designed to assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation during exercise training on body composition, muscle function, and glucose tolerance. The investigators hypothesis for these studies is that vitamin D supplementation enhances exercise-induced increases in strength and lean mass, potentially through enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation.
Read the detailed description
The study was designed to assess the effects of vitamin D supplementation during exercise training on body composition, muscle function, and glucose tolerance. It was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial with participants randomized into either a 4,000 IU/day vitamin D or placebo group and all participants completed 12 wks (3 d/wk) of exercise training.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Vitamin DDietary supplement
Also called cholecalciferol
4000 IU of vitamin D per day for 12 weeks.
PlaceboDrug
Also called microcrystalline cellulose
Placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) ingestion each day for 12 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D | Experimental | Participants in this arm consumed a 4000 IU vitamin D supplement daily for 12 weeks while participating in a resistance exercise training program. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Participants in this arm consumed a placebo (microcrystalline cellulose) daily for 12 weeks while participating in a resistance exercise training program. Receives: Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D; Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Muscle Function
The primary endpoint is the change in lean mass (kilograms) after the three month resistance exercise intervention.
Measured: three months
Glucose Tolerance
The primary endpoint is the change in the area under the glucose curve following an oral glucose tolerance test prior to and after the three month intervention.
Measured: three months
Inflammation
The primary endpoint is the change in C reactive protein after the three month intervention
Measured: three months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Vitamin D in people with Obesity and Insulin Resistance, run by Purdue University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Muscle Function (time frame: three months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01199926, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2015.
