Beetroot Fatigue 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 Fatigue 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 Fatigue 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 Fatigue Randomized Trial3 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 [].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 Fatigue Randomized TrialTo bridge this evidence gap, the International Olympic Committee has developed a categorization system for nutritional supplements, evaluating them based on the strength of supporting research for athletic performance benefits [].2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi‐Professional Wrestlers
Beetroot Fatigue Randomized Trial2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Among these, inorganic nitrate (NO₃⁻) has emerged as a promising ergogenic aid, particularly for high‐intensity sports, with evidence from meta‐analyzes demonstrating improvements in aerobic and anaerobic performance among recreationally active individuals [,].2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi‐Professional Wrestlers
Beetroot Fatigue Randomized TrialThese benefits extend to reductions in systemic blood pressure and improved efficiency in submaximal exercise.2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi‐Professional Wrestlers
Beetroot Fatigue Randomized Trial1 In competitive sports, even marginal enhancements in performance can profoundly influence competition outcomes, prompting athletes to increasingly rely on nutritional supplements.2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot Plus Vitamin C for Performance and Recovery: Protocol of a Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Randomized Crossover Trial in Semi‐Professional Wrestlers
