| Abstract |
Vitamin D plays an important and increasingly understood role in muscle health and performance. Vitamin D exhibits a nuclear receptor for transcription interaction and a transmembrane receptor, giving it genomic and non-genomic interactions. Vitamin D receptors have been described that affect muscle function. Vitamin D has also been correlated with muscle performance. Beyond its role in normal muscle function, vitamin D deficiency can interact with statins to produce myalgia-myositis, which can be reversed by normalizing serum vitamin D [7,13]. Exertional rhabdomyolysis may occur in diverse settings including marathons, ice skating, bicycling and swimming. Our hypothesis is that subjects with pre-existing low serum 25OHD are selected out for exertional rhabdomyolysis during strenuous activities. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2013.
All research outputs
#16,048,009
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Medical Hypotheses
#3,017
of 4,634 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#121,517
of 209,857 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medical Hypotheses
#26
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,634 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.5. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 209,857 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
