Measurements were made at baseline (BDC), during dry immersion (DI) and after recovery. Data are expressed as median(interquartile range) for n = 12.
a,b,c,d: significantly different (p<0.05) vs. BDC, DI24h, DI48h, and DI72h, respectively.
25OH-D: 25-hydroxyvitamin D; usCRP: ultrasensitive C-reactive protein.
