Pharmacological sodium nitrate supplementation has been reported to reduce the O 2 cost
of submaximal exercise in humans. In this study, we hypothesized that dietary …

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanistic bases for the reported reduction
in the O2 cost of exercise following short-term dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation. In a …

Dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation with beetroot juice (BR) over 4–6 days has been
shown to reduce the O2 cost of submaximal exercise and to improve exercise tolerance …

Dietary supplementation with beetroot juice (BR) has been shown to reduce resting blood
pressure and the O2 cost of submaximal exercise and to increase tolerance to high-intensity …

Inorganic nitrate is present at high levels in beetroot and celery, and in green leafy
vegetables such as spinach and lettuce. Though long believed inert, nitrate can be reduced …

Exerc., Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 1125–1131, 2011. Purpose: Dietary nitrate supplementation has
been shown to reduce the O2 cost of submaximal exercise and to improve high-intensity …

Dietary nitrate supplementation has been reported to improve short distance time trial (TT)
performance by 1–3% in club-level cyclists. It is not known if these ergogenic effects persist …

Diets rich in green, leafy vegetables have been shown to lower blood pressure (BP) and
reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Green, leafy vegetables and beetroot are …

Recent research has suggested that dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation might alter the
physiological responses to exercise via specific effects on type II muscle. Severe-intensity …

Nitrate derived from vegetables is consumed as part of a normal diet and is reduced
endogenously via nitrite to nitric oxide. It has been shown to improve endothelial function …
