Objectives: The purpose of our study is to evaluate the interaction
between maximal oxygen intake, body composition and some bone marker
measurements in Turkish elite players.
Methods: A total of 51 Turkish players of Turkish Super League
from following disciplines were included in the study: football (25 players),
basketball (12 players) and volleyball (14 players). Maximal oxygen intake as a
cardiorespiratory fitness measurement and some anthropometric measurements such
as body weight, fat mass, fat free mass were measured. We analyzed the serum
samples for total serum 25(OH)D and calcium levels. The data of individuals
were categorized as indoor sports (volleyball and basketball) and outdoor
sports (football); also according to the branches.
Results: In this study, it was found that, fat mass (p=.019)
and fat free mass (p=.000) were significantly higher for indoor sports
athletes. On the contrary, VO2 max intake (p=.001) and serum vitamin
25(OH)D (p=.000) levels were significantly lower in indoor athletes. For all participants, only 51.0% subjects had
sufficient serum vitamin 25(OH)D. It was found that vitamin D levels was
inversely related with body weight (spearman r=-0.41, p=.003), fat free mass (spearman
r:-0.51, p=.000) and BMR (spearman r:-0.35, p=.012). We found no significant
correlation between total calcium levels and any of the other parameters.
Conclusion: In Turkish athletes, better cardiorespiratory fitness and
lower percent of body fat were associated with higher serum 25(OH)D level. All
these data were independent of serum total calcium level.
