Fifty male healthy adults from National Chung Cheng University participated in the study. Participants were divided into the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) sufficiency group (n = 28, 25(OH)D \u2265 50 nmol\/L) and deficiency group (n = 22, 25(OH)D &lt; 50 nmol\/L). The acute maximal exercise was performed using an incremental cycling test to exhaustion. Additionally, the pPWV and blood pressure were obtained at rest and 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 min after acute maximal exercise. The results show that 25(OH)D deficiency group had higher pPWV at post-exercise (5.34 \u00b1 0.71 vs. 4.79 \u00b1 0.81 m\/s, p &lt; 0.05), post-exercise 15 min (5.13 \u00b1 0.53 vs. 4.48 \u00b1 0.66 m\/s, p &lt; 0.05) and post-exercise 30 min (5.26 \u00b1 0.84 vs. 4.78 \u00b1 0.50 m\/s, p &lt; 0.05) than the sufficiency group. Furthermore, there was a significant inverse correlation between 25(OH)D levels and pPWV following acute maximal exercise. Our study demonstrated that low vitamin D status relates to the poor response of pPWV following maximal exercise in healthy young men. Vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of incident cardiovascular events after acute exhaustive exercise, even in healthy and active adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14153074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]],"date-time":"2022-07-27T04:59:16Z","timestamp":1658897956000},"page":"3074","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Low Vitamin D Status Relates to the Poor Response of Peripheral Pulse Wave Velocity Following Acute Maximal Exercise in Healthy Young Men"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7720-6515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liang-You","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Sports, National Chung Cheng University, Minxiong 621301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chun-Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Sports, National Chung Cheng University, Minxiong 621301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu-An","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Sports, National Chung Cheng University, Minxiong 621301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shih-Hua","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Performance, National Taiwan University of Sport, Taichung City 404401, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soun-Cheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Sports, National Chung Cheng University, Minxiong 621301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8766-5926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng-Shiun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Sports, National Chung Cheng University, Minxiong 621301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"42","article-title":"Is there an optimal vitamin D status for immunity in athletes and military personnel?","volume":"22","author":"He","year":"2016","journal-title":"Exerc.
