Baseline data were collected, including age, race, body mass index, position, injury history specific to lower extremity muscle strain or core muscle injury, and Functional Movement Screen scores. Serum 25\u2010hydroxyvitamin D was collected and defined as normal (\u226532\u00a0ng\/mL), insufficient (20\u201031\u00a0ng\/mL), and deficient (&lt;20\u00a0ng\/mL). Univariate regression analysis was used to examine the association of vitamin D level and injury history. Subsequent multivariate regression analysis was used to examine this relation with adjustment for collected baseline data variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study population included 214 athletes, including 78% African American athletes and 51% skilled position players. Inadequate vitamin D was present in 59%, including 10% with deficient levels. Lower extremity muscle strain or core muscle injury was present in 50% of athletes, which was associated with lower vitamin D levels (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0= .03).

Univariate analysis of inadequate vitamin D levels showed a 1.86 higher odds of lower extremity strain or core muscle injury (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0= .03), and 3.61 higher odds of hamstring injury (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).
