Beetroot Exercise Performance Randomized TrialResults 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 Randomized TrialConclusion 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 Randomized TrialIntroduction 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 Randomized TrialMethods 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.
Beetroot Exercise Performance Randomized TrialIntroduction In competitive sports, minor performance enhancements can significantly impact outcomes, driving athletes to utilize nutritional supplements, though many lack robust scientific evidence.2Nojoumi M (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi-Professional Wrestlers.
Beetroot Exercise Performance Randomized TrialThe primary outcome will be maximal anaerobic power, while secondary outcomes will include mean anaerobic power, fatigue index, time to exhaustion, and metabolic markers associated with muscle damage, such as creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase.2Nojoumi M (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi-Professional Wrestlers.
Beetroot Exercise Performance Randomized TrialConclusion This protocol describes a rigorous trial to evaluate potential ergogenic and recovery benefits of vitamin C-enriched beetroot in wrestling-specific anaerobic performance, addressing gaps in multi-muscle group testing.2Nojoumi M (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi-Professional Wrestlers.
Beetroot Exercise Performance Randomized TrialInorganic nitrate (NO₃⁻) stands out as a well-supported ergogenic aid, particularly for high-intensity activities, enhancing both performance metrics and psychological factors like perceived exertion.2Nojoumi M (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi-Professional Wrestlers.
