| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | 3 2 9 10 8 11 12 13 14 15 Although the activation of the NO− to NO− to NO pathway after beetroot juice intake has been primarily linked to mechanisms that enhance oxidative energy production, this pathway is believed to enhance sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release and reuptake, leading to increased force production in fast-twitch muscle fibers []. | 2 | López-Samanes Álvaro (2026) | Acute beetroot juice ingestion fails to improve sprint performance and neuromuscular function in trained male sprinters: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Additionally, this pathway has been associated with increased neurotransmitter release [] and enhanced motor unit recruitment [] all of which could contribute to improved neuromuscular performance in short and explosive exercise activities such as short sprints (i.e. | 2 | López-Samanes Álvaro (2026) | Acute beetroot juice ingestion fails to improve sprint performance and neuromuscular function in trained male sprinters: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | The benefits of beetroot juice intake on muscle contraction or neuromuscular parameters are diverse, with evidence of enhanced force, velocity, and power in amateur team-sport athletes and resistance-trained men [,] or electromyography activity in healthy untrained men []. | 2 | López-Samanes Álvaro (2026) | Acute beetroot juice ingestion fails to improve sprint performance and neuromuscular function in trained male sprinters: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | 3 3 2 3 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Beetroot juice is a rich source of nitrate (NO−), which serves as a precursor to nitric oxide (NO) via the nitrate (NO−) to nitrite (NO−) to NO pathway []. | 2 | López-Samanes Álvaro (2026) | Acute beetroot juice ingestion fails to improve sprint performance and neuromuscular function in trained male sprinters: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Such cognitive decline may involve reduced neural activity due to decreased oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex [,]. | 4 | Yang Xueheng (2026) | Influence of Acute Beetroot Juice Intake on Agility Performance Immediately Post-Repeated Maximal Sprinting in Soccer Players |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Recent evidence suggests that exercise-induced changes in cognitive function, particularly those related to executive function and reactive processes, are more closely related to neurovascular mechanisms than to ambient oxygen concentration []. | 4 | Yang Xueheng (2026) | Influence of Acute Beetroot Juice Intake on Agility Performance Immediately Post-Repeated Maximal Sprinting in Soccer Players |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Muscle fatigue associated with repeated contractions may contribute to this decline, partly through reduced Carelease from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) []. | 4 | Yang Xueheng (2026) | Influence of Acute Beetroot Juice Intake on Agility Performance Immediately Post-Repeated Maximal Sprinting in Soccer Players |
| Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 During soccer matches, players must execute critical actions that influence outcomes, such as evading defenders during attacks, exchanging passes with teammates, and adjusting shots towards the goal [,]. | 4 | Yang Xueheng (2026) | Influence of Acute Beetroot Juice Intake on Agility Performance Immediately Post-Repeated Maximal Sprinting in Soccer Players |
