Key Points

To evaluate the impact of vitamin D supplementation combined with resistance exercise on body composition and metabolic variables in older women.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial with older women.
Participants received either vitamin D supplementation or a placebo alongside resistance training.
Assessed changes in body composition and metabolic markers pre and post-intervention.
Vitamin D supplementation significantly increased serum vitamin D levels.
No additional improvements in muscle mass compared to resistance exercise alone.
Metabolic markers did not show significant changes with the combination intervention.

Abstract

In conclusion, vitamin D supplementation successfully increased serum levels but failed to provide additional benefits for muscle mass or metabolic markers compared to resistance training alone.
