Abstract in brief

Dietary nitrate, obtained through beetroot juice, lowers the oxygen cost of both moderate and high-intensity exercise in humans, making exercise more efficient.
Supplementing with beetroot juice increases plasma nitrite levels and reduces systolic blood pressure, contributing to improved exercise tolerance.
The findings suggest that dietary nitrate may influence mitochondrial function and muscle energy use, potentially benefiting athletic performance and cardiovascular health.]
