Beets Exercise and Endurance

[Barny]

Hi guys,

Found a couple of interesting articles on the effects of nitrate supplementation (via consuming beetroot juice) on exercise (resistance and endurance).

Effect of Acute Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Bench... : The Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research

Beetroot supplementation demonstrated improved VO2 max, faster 5km run times, improved time to exhaustion in elite level runners, and improved velocity, power, and increased total reps in bench press activity.

Pretty cool food for sports even if it does turn your pee purple.

Hope they are of some use?

Cheers.

Purple pee is cool. As long as I’m not urinating blood, I’m good!
