Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study aimed to investigate whether there will be an effect of adding a program of aerobic interval training in managing patients suffering from myalgia associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Detailed Description
Forty five women complaining from myalgia with vitamin D deficiency participating in this study. Their ages are ranged from 30 to 40 years.
They are assigned randomly into three groups:
- Group (A): included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program with vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day).
- Group (B): included 15 patients who are receiving vitamin D supplementation only (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day).
- Group (C): included 15 patients who are participating in an interval training exercise program only.
The intervention will last for 12 weeks

Arms & Interventions
Group (A)
Included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program with vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day).
The aerobic interval training is conducted for one hour, three days per week on a total period of 12 weeks.
Intervention: aerobic interval training and Vitamin D supplementation, (Other)
Group (B)
Included 15 patients who are receiving vitamin D supplementation only . One capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) was taken every day for 12 weeks
Intervention: Vitamin D supplementation only (Drug)
Group (c)
Included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program only. The aerobic interval training is conducted for one hour, three days per week on a total period of 12 weeks.
Intervention: aerobic interval training only (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Description of Functional capacity efficiency
Time Frame: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups
Cooper 12-Minute Walk Test (12MWT)
Intensity of non specific muscle pain (myalgia)
Time Frame: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups
A 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the patients' pain , with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst pain imaginable
Description of the improvement in Quality of life
Time Frame: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups
The Short form health survey (SF-12)is often used to compare health status between groups of patients, to indentify predictors of health status
Concentration of Plasma Serum vitamin D level (25OHD)
Time Frame: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups
It is performed by Laboratory BioPlex® 2200 System
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
