In the course of one year, vitamin D levels and inflammation parameters were measured, whereafter the frequency of acute upper respiratory tract infections was determined. The study showed that vitamin D deficiency is frequent among athletes engaged in swimming and induces adverse outcomes related to inflammation markers and upper respiratory tract infections. According to the results, vitamin D supplementation is advised to improve vitamin D status, thereby correcting inflammation parameters and decreasing upper respiratory tract infections.
