Effects of dietary nitrate supplementation on isometric performance and physiological responses in college bodybuilders: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study
These data suggest that acute beetroot juice supplementation had no significant effect on MVIC in college bodybuilding athletes but improved endurance in certain muscle groups during ICET. This suggests that nitrates may enhance endurance by optimizing intermittent recovery processes rather than directly increasing strength.
