Description
Summary:During the climacteric period, occur an aging process of the skin, and promote several decreases in the ability of vitamin D synthesis in an organism and lower levels of Vitamin D may contribute to the appearance of conditions such as osteomalacia, osteoporosis, falls and fractures. The present brief review focuses on the influence of Vitamin D supplementation alone on physical fitness (strength, endurance, and balance) in postmenopausal with diseases or not. Search in Medline and PubMed relevant articles with Vitamin D supplementation alone on physical fitness (strength, endurance, and balance) in postmenopausal with diseases or not, were included only 5 clinical. In conclusion, the effectiveness depends on the amount was prescribed for supplementation and the patient's characteristics. Doses less than 1000 IU/d did not show significant changes in physical fitness on post-menopausal women with metabolic diseases or not.
