Vitamin C 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.
Vitamin C 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.
Vitamin C 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.
Vitamin C 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.
Vitamin C Exercise Performance Randomized TrialFurthermore, emerging evidence suggests that increased NO bioavailability may also improve glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, independent of insulin and muscle contraction pathways, by stimulating GLUT4 translocation and glucose transport [,].2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot juice and vitamin C co-supplementation enhances anaerobic performance and reduces post-exercise glycemia in wrestlers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial
Vitamin C Exercise Performance Randomized TrialThis mechanism could help attenuate exercise-induced hyperglycemia, which commonly occurs during high-intensity anaerobic efforts due to catecholamine-mediated hepatic glucose output and reduced peripheral glucose disposal.2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot juice and vitamin C co-supplementation enhances anaerobic performance and reduces post-exercise glycemia in wrestlers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial
Vitamin C Exercise Performance Randomized TrialThe nitrate dose was based on evidence indicating performance benefits with 5–14.9 mmol NO₃⁻ consumed 2–3 h pre-exercise [,].2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot juice and vitamin C co-supplementation enhances anaerobic performance and reduces post-exercise glycemia in wrestlers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial
Vitamin C Exercise Performance Randomized Trial1 2 3 4 5 6 Wrestling is an Olympic sport characterized by high-intensity, intermittent efforts that demands exceptional anaerobic power, muscular strength, and endurance across upper and lower body musculature [,].2Nojoumi Maedeh (2026)Beetroot juice and vitamin C co-supplementation enhances anaerobic performance and reduces post-exercise glycemia in wrestlers: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial
