Nitrate supplementation and high-intensity performance in competitive cyclists

Abstract: Consumption of inorganic nitrate (NO3(-)) is known to enhance endurance exercise performance in recreationally trained subjects. Here we report the effect on a high-intensity performance task in national-level cyclists. The performance test consisted of 2 cycle ergometer time trials of 4 min duration with 75 min between trials. In a randomized crossover design, 26 cyclists performed the test under the following 4 conditions (each separated by a 6-day washout): consumption of 70 mL of nitrate-rich beetroot juic… Show more

“…Furthermore, plasma reported in the current study were greater than those seen in another investigation also using a three-day loading protocol (BC+Bi, 1521 nmol·L -1 ; BC, 1102 vs. 334 nmol·L -1 ) (Bescos et al, 2012). However, we do acknowledge some anomalies with our data: the baseline levels of plasma [NO 2 -] were higher than that reported in other studies (~200-300 nM, (Hoon et al, 2014;Lansley et al, 2011)) and were only elevated for the TT in the case of the BC+Bi trial. Therefore, the difficulty in achieving a performance enhancement with the BC may reside with the inability of this dose to further raise the already high NO 2 -levels in our well-trained population.…”

“…We used protocols designed to achieve physiological changes favorable for high-intensity exercise lasting ~4-6 min (Hoon et al, 2014;Kilding et al, 2012). Specifically, our cyclists consumed chronic plus acute doses of NO 3 -rich beetroot crystals (300 mg NO 3 -per 15 g for three days and 15 g 1 hr preexercise) and a well-tolerated alkalizing protocol (0.3 g·kg BM -1 NaHCO 3 in five doses, commencing 2.5 hr preexercise) (Carr et al, 2011b).…”
