Summary

Participation will take place over two visits to the Clinical Exercise Research Center (CERC) at the University of Southern California Health Sciences Campus.

On the first visit, height, weight, and body composition by bioelectrical impedance are recorded. Questionnaires and withdrawal of a sample of blood (1 tablespoon) are also completed. The intervention begins the day following the first visit. The intervention protocol consists of three weeks of consuming either a placebo capsule or a 5000 IU Vitamin D capsule daily and completing a daily survey.

The second visit to CERC immediately follows the 3-weeks intervention. In this visit, the same blood sampling protocol will be completed. The assignment of the intervention will be randomized (i.e., rolling a die), and participants are blinded to group assignment.
