Beetroot Exercise Performance Meta-Analysis1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Soccer is one of the most widely practiced and studied sports worldwide, characterized by high physiological demands that combine intermittent high-intensity efforts, repeated sprints, frequent accelerations and decelerations, changes in direction, and incomplete recovery periods [,,].1Silva Díaz Verónica (2026)Effect of Polyphenol Supplementation on Post-Exercise Recovery in Adult Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review
Beetroot Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisResults Salivary concentrations of NO 3 - and nitrite NO 2 - were also measured and in comparison to the placebo drink, the intake of beetroot juice increased salivary concentrations of NO 3 - (from 230 ± 435 vs 6164 ± 3370 μM; p = 2 - (130 ± 131 vs 4509 ± 4895 μM; p = 0.018; ES = 1.63).2López-Samanes Á (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-AnalysisConclusion Acute ingestion of 70 mL beetroot juice containing 6.4 mmol of NO 3 - did not enhance sprint performance or the neuromuscular function of male trained sprinters.Trial registration: The study was retrospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with the following ID: 5-56NCT06675682 by 1 November 2024.2López-Samanes Á (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-AnalysisIntroduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of beetroot juice ingestion on sprint performance and neuromuscular properties of male trained sprinters.2López-Samanes Á (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-AnalysisMethods Twelve male sprinters (24.3 ± 4.8 years) participated in a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study with two experimental trials after the ingestion of 70 mL beetroot juice (containing 6.4 mmol NO 3 -) or 70 mL placebo drink (containing 0.04 mmol NO 3 -).2López-Samanes Á (2026)Acute beetroot juice ingestion fails to improve sprint performance and neuromuscular function in trained male sprinters: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
