Fat Soluble Vitamins

 

How can deficiency of the fat soluble vitamins affect athletic performance? You can provide research on either strength or endurance related performance. Make sure to discuss how deficiency will show up. For example, what are some of the symptoms an athlete may experience due to a deficiency? Use at least 2 peer reviewed articles to support your response and it must be written/cited in APA format.
While it’s rare that we see a deficiency in some Fat Soluble Vitamins, it is very common in Vitamin D and others. For this assignment, you want to do the following:
Write a paragraph about at least 2 of the 4 Fat-Soluble Vitamins and discuss how a deficiency could affect athletic performance. You can discuss any aspect as it may related to athletic performance. If you don’t feel the evidence supports any impact on athletic performance, then discuss why this does not occur based on your findings.
Give your reader a little introduction about the vitamin before going directly into a deficiency and talk about its functions as some of the functions will be important when it comes to a deficiency.
Discuss how to recognize a deficiency meaning what are the signs and symptoms of a deficiency?
For this paper since you will be writing about Fat Soluble Vitamins in your Assignment, you DO NOT need an introduction and summary/closing paragraph. I’d like to see paragraph on each Vitamin. Keep in mind a paragraph is not 2 sentences so be specific in your discussion

Sample Solution

aist Circumference (WC) is a good indicator of central adiposity and is a better predictor of metabolic syndrome (24,25), cardiovascular disease risk factors (26) and insulin resistance in children than BMI.
A cut-off of 70th WC percentile is suggested to screen children for risk of MS in our population. WC is measured with the child standing using a non-stretchable tape applied horizontally just above the upper lateral border of the right ileum(27). Measurement is made at the end of a normal expiration and recorded to the nearest 0.1cm. Age- and sex-specific reference curves for WC for 2-18 year old Indian children are available by Khadilkar et al (18).

3) Clinical Examination:
This includes assessment of vital signs especially measurement of Blood pressure with an appropriate size cuff.
Look for dysmorphic features that would suggest a genetic syndrome. Cushingoid facies, hyperpigmented stretch striae and hypertension suggest cushing’s or exogenous steroid exposure. A hump on the back of neck and stretch striae may also be present in children with simple obesity. Dry skin or enlarged thyroid gland may suggest hypothyroidism and presence of acanthosis nigricans is an indicator of insulin resistance. Acne and hirsutism in girls could be due to PCOD. Shortening of 4th and 5th metacarpal should raise the suspicion of pseudohypoparathyroidism.
Look for gynecomastia in males. Genital examination for Tanner staging & evaluation of early puberty should be done. Undescended testes in males could be associated with syndromic obesity.

4) Laboratory Investigations:
