Abstract excerpt
Trainees in US Army basic combat training (BCT) frequently experience vitamin D deficiency and bone stress injuries. It remains unclear how genetic variation influences these outcomes, either through direct effects on skeletal adaptations to training or by increasing susceptibility to vitamin D insufficiency, which in turn affects skeletal adaptations and injury risk. This study investigated whether...
