New Perspectives about Beetroot Juice Supplementation on Athletic Population
Since the first athletes in ancient Greece, vegetables as dietary sources have been associated with physical performance and health. In fact, vegetables have been related to cardiovascular fitness and correlate intake with blood pressure, triglycerides or cholesterol levels. The high consumption of vegetable dietary products has been associated with health, especially in populations with cardiovascular disease risk. Some endurance athletes consume diets with a low content of fat and including a large amount of vegetables. At the same time, the present maximum equality between athletes induces them to optimize recovery between training sessions, potentiate training adaptations, use sophisticated equipment and search for strategies that can influence their physical performance. In this context, many sport supplements have emerged, promising to increase physical performance. However, before engaging with sport supplementation, one must consider the principles of safety, effectiveness and legality. One of the few sport supplements that have demonstrated to act as ergogenic aids is beetroot juice.
This webinar aims to provide insight on the most recent findings concerning beetroot juice supplementation in the athletic population, including four international prestigious research papers. The duration of these lectures/presentations will be 30 minutes, after which a Q&A session will be held.
