Implication

Randomized crossover trial reveals beetroot juice improves explosive power and judo-specific performance in adolescents, suggesting nitrate enhances athletic abilities.

Key Points

Acute beetroot juice supplementation significantly improved explosive jump height in adolescent judokas, enhancing their performance during judo activities.
Increases in back-muscle strength and handgrip strength were observed, with beetroot juice showing a notable boost of 3.2% and 8.4%, respectively.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involved thirty-five male adolescent judokas, consuming either beetroot juice or a placebo.
These findings highlight beetroot juice as a practical ergogenic aid, particularly beneficial for young athletes involved in high-intensity exercises.
