ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We assessed the acute effect of beetroot extract intake on cardiovascular and autonomic recovery subsequent to strength exercise.METHODS:
This is a crossover, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial. We assessed 16 subjects but only 12 healthy male adults completed the two protocols in two randomized days Beetroot extract (600 mg in capsule) and placebo (600 mg starch in capsule). Beetroot extract or placebo was ingested, the subjects endured 120 minutes seated at rest, followed by a 75% 1RM strength exercise and then remained seated for 60 minutes at rest. Cardiorespiratory parameters, heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) (SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, SD1, SD2 HF [ms2]) were estimated before, during exercise and during recovery from exercise.RESULTS:
ingestion of beetroot extract before exercise accelerates the recovery of SBP following physical effort; improves HR recovery to baseline resting levels (beetroot protocol change in â¼62% vs. placebo protocol change in â¼80%), and intensifies the return of vagal HR control during recovery after exercise.CONCLUSIONS:
Beetroot extract acutely improved cardiovascular and autonomic recovery after exercise.Palabras clave
