Abstract: (110 Views)
Background. During the past ten years, there has been an increase in interest in using Nitrate (NO3) supplementation to enhance exercise-related performance. Nitric oxide, a free radical gas involved in several physiological processes such as blood vessel vasodilation, mitochondrial respiration, and skeletal muscle contractile function, can be formed from dietary NO3 after ingestion.
Objectives. This study aimed to review the literature on the effects of dietary nitrate consumption on performance in various exercises. Methods. The narrative review was used to achieve the study's aim.
Results. Increasing evidence suggests that dietary NO3 supplementation improves endurance through increased tissue oxygenation and improved metabolic efficiency in working skeletal muscle. Further data points to dietary NO3 exerting direct control over the skeletal muscle's contractile processes via altering calcium availability and sensitivity.
Conclusions. The efficiency of dietary NO3 for improving exercise performance is influenced by response heterogeneity and sizable variability in the nitrate content of beetroot juice products; thus, the dose and the quality of the product, as well as training history, sex, and individual-specific features, should be taken into mind.
