Beetroot Blood Pressure Randomized Trial3 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 [].2López-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 TrialAdditionally, 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.2López-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 TrialThe 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 [].2López-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 TrialRecent 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 [].4Yang Xueheng (2026)Influence of Acute Beetroot Juice Intake on Agility Performance Immediately Post-Repeated Maximal Sprinting in Soccer Players
