Une etude vient d’etre publiee dans une revue serieuse demontrant le potentiel ergogenique du jus de betterave rouge lors d’un effort en endurance realise en hypoxie.
Extrait du resume:
Introduction: Increasing nitric oxide bioavailability via supplementation with nitrate-rich beetroot juice (BR) has been shown to attenuate the negative effect of hypoxia on peripheral oxygen saturation and exercise tolerance.
Conclusion: A single dose of BR lowered V˙O2 during submaximal exercise and enhanced TT performance of trained cyclists in normobaric hypoxia. Consequently, ingestion of BR may be a practical and effective ergogenic aid for endurance exercise at altitude.
