This online seminar was chaired by Prof. Dr. Raúl Domínguez, who was joined by four esteemed scientists who presented various studies regarding beetroot juice supplementation. In summary they explored NO₃^--NO₂^--NO pathway, beetroot juice supplementation could exert ergogenic effect in endurance performance, high intensity and explosive efforts. Effects on some sport modalities, as team sports, requires for studying and adjust new dosages of beetroot juice supplementation.

Beetroot juice supplementation could be a useful supplementation for enhancing physical performance and healthy parameters in older populations. Older population with cardiovascular disease could be more sensible than healthy older people.
