Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisMethodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using the PEDro scale and Cochrane RoB 2 tool.1Eroglu MN (2026)The Effects of Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Performance and Fatigue During Single and Repeated Sprints: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisBRJ improved time to peak power in four Wingate-based studies (SMD = -0.92, 95% CI: -1.29 to -0.54, p p = 0.027).1Eroglu MN (2026)The Effects of Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Performance and Fatigue During Single and Repeated Sprints: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisConclusions : BRJ may improve time to peak power and handgrip strength; however, low- to very-low-certainty evidence does not support its routine use to enhance short-distance or repeated-sprint performance.1Eroglu MN (2026)The Effects of Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Performance and Fatigue During Single and Repeated Sprints: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisBackground/Objectives : Beetroot juice (BRJ), a dietary nitrate source, may enhance high-intensity intermittent exercise, but its effects on single- and repeated-sprint performance remain unclear.1Eroglu MN (2026)The Effects of Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Performance and Fatigue During Single and Repeated Sprints: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisThis review aims to define the mechanistic, dietary and host conditions under which nitrate bioactivation becomes functionally relevant, with particular attention to its microbial determinants and to the level of inference the evidence actually supports.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisThe oral microbiota is the principal microbial determinant of the response, whereas the gut microbiota acts as a context-dependent modifier of intestinal redox tone, barrier function and microbial ecology, supported by markedly weaker human evidence.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisConclusions: We propose the Source-Matrix-Microbiota-Host (SMMH) framework, in which biological impact depends on the interaction between dietary source and dose, food matrix, microbial nitrate-reducing capacity and host susceptibility, rather than on nitrate dose alone, and in which pathway-level, physiological and clinical evidence are kept explicitly distinct.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
Dietary Nitrate Exercise Performance Meta-AnalysisBackground/Objectives: Dietary nitrate, long framed through food-safety concerns about N-nitroso compound formation, is now also recognised as a substrate of the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway.4Buzatu GD (2026)Dietary Nitrate Bioactivation at the Diet-Microbiota-Host Interface: The Enterosalivary Cycle, Food Matrix, Microbial Determinants and Health Implications-A Narrative Review Supported by a Structured Literature Search.
