ABSTRACT
This study examined if acute dietary nitrate supplementation (140 mL beetroot juice, BRJ) would reduce oxygen consumption (VÌO2) during cycling at power outputs of 50 and 70% maximal oxygen consumption in 14 well-trained female Canadian University Ringette League athletes. BRJ had no effect on VÌO2 or heart rate but significantly reduced ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) at both intensities. Individually, 4 participants responded to BRJ supplementation with a ≥3% reduction in VÌO2 at the higher power output. Novelty Acute BRJ supplementation did not improve exercise economy in well-trained females, but significantly reduced RPE. However, 4/14 subjects did respond with a ≥3% VÌO2 reduction.
