Beetroot juice supplementation enhances the effects of blood flow restriction training on lower limb strength and vertical jump performance under fatigue in male university students: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
The results indicate that four weeks of BFR training, with or without BRJ supplementation, can improve knee flexor and extensor strength and bilateral CMJ performance. However, the effects of BRJ were selective rather than broadly superior, as BRJ mainly enhanced BFR training by reducing fatigue-related declines in vertical jump performance.
