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
