“…In female soccer, BRJ consumption for 6 weeks was positively associated with improvement in haematological parameters related to red blood cell count and iron [50], but in another study where the same dose of BRJ was used but acutely, it did not show beneficial results in these haematological parameters [51]. In summary, the potential effect in women remains to be clearly established.…”

“…Improvements in exercise economy and endurance capacity were also observed after consuming BRJ among healthy young adult males; however, no such benefits were seen in females [49]. Nitrates have also been studied, regarding their use in female athletes [50][51][52][53][54]. No ergogenic effects were observed on oxygen consumption, heart rate or aerobic time trial performance after the consumption of beetroot juice in female athletes [52,53].…”

Soccer players make frequent use of dietary supplements to improve performance. One of the most widely used strategies to optimize performance is to increase the bioavailability of nitric oxide through nitrates, as it could delay fatigue during physical exertion, among other benefits. This may be positive for performance in soccer, although there is almost no research in professional soccer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of nitrates and behaviours related to their consumption in Spanish elite soccer clubs. Dietitian–nutritionist representatives from 45 teams from the most important Spanish soccer leagues completed an online survey to determine if, when, how and why nitrates are prescribed to soccer players. Of the total sample, 55.6% indicated providing nitrates, always before matches, but only 36% in training. There was a wide variation and lack of consistency in the timing, dosage and form of administration of nitrates. The use of mouthwashes or the protocol of chronic nitrate intake was not taken into account in most cases. The present study indicates a lack of interpretation between scientific knowledge and its application in practice, highlighting the need for future research to better understand how to optimize the use of nitrates in professional soccer.

“…Another significant feature of beetroot is that it meets 50-85% of dietary nitrate, thus increasing the content of nitrite and nitrate after consumption (Rg et al, 2018). With the highest nitrate and sugar content among natural foods, it has an increasing energy effect on athletes, and its importance is increasing daily (Lotfi et al, 2019). Studies have shown that beetroot has ergogenic effects.…”

In recent years, it is gradually becoming important for athletes to show sufficient performance at competitions. To improve performance, athletes use ergogenic aids such as protein powders, creatine, and glutamine. However, recent research has also been conducted into the possible ergogenic effects of several fresh foods on exercise. Nutrients show the ergogenic effect by having macro and micronutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive components. These potential ergogenic effects include muscle recovery, prevention of oxidative stress caused by exercise, improved performance, and inhibition of muscle damage. The purpose of this review was to examine the nutritional content and the effects of fresh foods such as beets, cherries, watermelon, tomatoes, grapes, and pomegranate.

“…Amongst vegetables, beetroot is a remarkable source of nutrients as iron, nitrate, potassium, beta-alanine, sodium, folic acid, and magnesium. The advantages of consuming beetroot juice in human cases are, dealing with anemia, raising red blood cell numbers, increasing the oxygen-carrying capability of erythrocytes (RBCs), enlightening blood circulation, and make improvements to menstrual difficulties (Lotfi M, et al, 2019). On the other hand, a contrary impact of oral iron supplements negatively affects the treatment obedience and may lead to patients to withdraw from treatment.…”

Objective: Comparison of beetroot extract and iron supplement (Iberet Folic) effects on iron andhaemoglobin levels among iron deficient anaemic rats.Methodology: In this study a natural source of iron, beetroot extract, and iron supplement (Iberetfolic) was administrated to phenyl-hydrazine induced anaemic rats for 21 days. Beetroot was firstdried, powdered, then extracted by ethanol.Results: The beetroot in current experimental study showed improvements in haemoglobin, red bloodcells, and iron serum as mean values of 23.8±0.69 g/dL, 15.16 ±0.54 106 /μL, and 31.5 ±1.5 μg/dL,respectively. As compared to beetroot, minor changes could be seen in mean values of haemoglobin,red blood cells, and serum iron of iron supplemented anaemic rats as; 22.4 ±0.443 g/dL, 13.69 ±0.5106 /μL, and 30.1 ±0.9 μg/dL, correspondingly.Conclusion: The Beetroot extract in this study presented as a viable replacement to the conventionallocal iron supplement.
