Dietary protein intake should be optimized in all athletes to ensure proper recovery and enhance the skeletal muscle adaptive response to exercise training. In addition to total protein intake, the… (More)
Although beetroot juice, as a nitrate carrier, is a popular ergogenic supplement among athletes, nitrate is consumed through the regular diet as well. We aimed to assess the habitual dietary nitrate… (More)
While the majority of studies reporting ergogenic effects of dietary nitrate have used a multiday supplementation protocol, some studies suggest that a single dose of dietary nitrate before exercise… (More)
BACKGROUND
Dietary nitrate is receiving increased attention due to its reported ergogenic and cardioprotective properties. The extent to which ingestion of various nitrate-rich vegetables increases… (More)
TO THE EDITOR: We thank the authors of the commentaries (see Ref. 1) on our Viewpoint (2) for further enlightening several interesting aspects concerning nitrate supplementation in the elite athlete,… (More)
PURPOSE
There is an ongoing debate whether highly trained athletes are less responsive to the ergogenic properties of nitrate. We assessed the effects of nitrate supplementation on plasma nitrate and… (More)
It has been shown that nitrate supplementation can enhance endurance exercise performance. Recent work suggests that nitrate ingestion can also increase intermittent type exercise performance in… (More)
NITRATE RICH BEETROOT JUICE has become a popular sports supplement because of its proposed ergogenic properties. The effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on exercise performance have been… (More)
Nitrate-rich beetroot juice is thought to have ergogenic effects, particularly in conditions where oxygen availability is limited. Whether these effects also apply to elite athletes is currently… (More)
