Effects of a single dose of a betalain-rich concentrate on determinants of running performance and recovery muscle blood flow: a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
A single dose of BRC did not enhance RE or VO<sub>2max</sub>. However, the observed improvements in exercise HR, RPE, and SmO₂ suggest that BRC may confer cardiovascular benefits for exercise and recovery.
