| Beetroot Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | If these processes are not adequately managed, performance in subsequent sessions may be compromised, and the risk of muscle injury may increase [,,]. | 1 | Silva Díaz Verónica (2026) | Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review |
| Beetroot Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | Among the proposed nutritional strategies, in addition to carbohydrates and proteins, the use of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols has been suggested due to their potential role in modulating inflammatory and oxidative processes associated with fatigue and recovery []. | 1 | Silva Díaz Verónica (2026) | Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review |

| Beetroot Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | 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 Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | 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 Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis | 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 |
