Increased plasma nitrate concentrations from dietary sources of nitrate have proven to benefit exercise performance. Beetroot (BR) contains relatively high levels of nitrate (NO₃⁻), which increases nitric oxide stores. This study investigated whether dietary nitrate supplementation, in the form of a BR beverage, would improve rowing performance during ergometer repetitions. In a randomized crossover design, 14 well-trained junior male rowers consumed 500 ml of either BR or placebo (PL) daily… Expand

Chronic high-dose beetroot juice supplementation improves time trial performance of well-trained cyclists in normoxia and hypoxia.
TLDR
The results provide new evidence that chronic high-dose NO3- supplementation improves cycling performance of well-trained cyclists in both normoxia and hypoxia. Expand
The effect of six days of dietary nitrate supplementation on performance in trained CrossFit athletes
TLDR
Consuming dietary nitrate in the potassium nitrate salt form improved peak power during a Wingate test, but did not improve elements of strength or endurance in male CrossFit athletes. Expand
Dietary nitrate supplementation improves team sport-specific intense intermittent exercise performance
TLDR
The findings suggest that NO3− supplementation may promote NO production via the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway and enhance Yo–Yo IR1 test performance, perhaps by facilitating greater muscle glucose uptake or by better maintaining muscle excitability. Expand
Dietary nitrate supplementation improves sprint and high-intensity intermittent running performance.
TLDR
Dietary NO3- supplementation enhances maximal sprint and high-intensity intermittent running performance in competitive team sport players and has the potential to improve performance in single-sprints or multiple-sprint (team) sports. Expand
Beetroot juice supplementation does not improve performance of elite 1500-m runners.
TLDR
Acute and chronic BR supplementation did not reduce running V˙O2 or improve 1500-m TT performance of a group of elite distance runners, but two responders to BR were identified. Expand
Effects of a Short-Term High-Nitrate Diet on Exercise Performance
TLDR
It is suggested that a high-nitrate diet could be a feasible and effective strategy to improve exercise performance and should be considered as a viable and effective nutritional intervention. Expand
The effect of variable doses of inorganic nitrate-rich beetroot juice on simulated 2,000-m rowing performance in trained athletes.
TLDR
Compared with nitratedepleted beetroot juice, a high but not moderate dose of NO(3-) in beetroot Juice, consumed 2 h before exercise, may improve 2000-m rowing performance in highly trained athletes. Expand
Likely Additive Ergogenic Effects of Combined Preexercise Dietary Nitrate and Caffeine Ingestion in Trained Cyclists
TLDR
Acute preexercise beetroot juice coingestion with caffeine likely has additive effects on exercise performance compared with either beetroot or caffeine alone. Expand
Dietary nitrate enhances power output during the early phases of maximal intensity sprint cycling
TLDR
The consumption of dietary nitrate, seemingly enhanced power output between 5 to 15 s of maximal cycling, this occurred despite nitrate having no distinctive effect on overall cycling performance. Expand

Acute dietary nitrate supplementation improves cycling time trial performance.
TLDR
It is suggested that acute dietary nitrate supplementation with 0.5 L of BR improves cycling economy, as demonstrated by a higher PO for the same VO2 and enhances both 4- and 16.1-km cycling TT performance. Expand
Dietary nitrate supplementation reduces the O2 cost of low-intensity exercise and enhances tolerance to high-intensity exercise in humans.
TLDR
The reduced O2 cost of exercise following increased dietary nitrate intake has important implications for the understanding of the factors that regulate mitochondrial respiration and muscle contractile energetics in humans. Expand
Dietary nitrate reduces maximal oxygen consumption while maintaining work performance in maximal exercise.
TLDR
A moderate dietary dose of nitrate significantly reduces VO(2max) during maximal exercise using a large active muscle mass, and this reduction occurred with a trend toward increased time to exhaustion implying that two separate mechanisms are involved: one that reducesVO(2 max) and another that improves the energetic function of the working muscles. Expand
Inorganic Nitrate Supplementation Lowers Blood Pressure in Humans: Role for Nitrite-Derived NO
TLDR
These findings demonstrate dose-dependent decreases in blood pressure and vasoprotection after inorganic nitrate ingestion in the form of either supplementation or by dietary elevation and intimate sex differences in nitrate processing involving the entero-salivary circulation are likely to be major contributing factors to the lower blood pressures and the Vasoprotective phenotype of premenopausal women. Expand
Acute administration of inorganic nitrate reduces VO(2peak) in endurance athletes.
TLDR
A single oral dose of inorganic nitrate acutely reduces VO(2peak) without compromising the maximal exercise performance and enhances the tolerance of endurance athletes to high intensity exercise. Expand
All-natural nitrite and nitrate containing dietary supplement promotes nitric oxide production and reduces triglycerides in humans.
TLDR
The strategy of formulating a combination of natural products and botanicals chosen specifically for their NO activity shows promise in restoring NO homeostasis in human subjects at risk for cardiovascular disease for use as a dietary supplement. Expand
Acute Blood Pressure Lowering, Vasoprotective, and Antiplatelet Properties of Dietary Nitrate via Bioconversion to Nitrite
TLDR
It is suggested that dietary nitrate underlies the beneficial effects of a vegetable-rich diet and highlights the potential of a “natural” low cost approach for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Expand
Dietary inorganic nitrate improves mitochondrial efficiency in humans.
TLDR
It is concluded that dietary nitrate has profound effects on basal mitochondrial function and whole-body oxygen consumption in healthy volunteers and may have implications for exercise physiology- and lifestyle-related disorders that involve dysfunctional mitochondria. Expand
Effects of dietary nitrate on oxygen cost during exercise
TLDR
This study investigated if dietary nitrate had any effect on metabolic and circulatory parameters during exercise and found that it did not. Expand
Inorganic nitrate is a possible source for systemic generation of nitric oxide.
TLDR
The results challenge the dogma that nitrate is biologically inert and instead suggest that a complete reverse pathway for generation of NO from nitrate exists. Expand
