Beetroot juice supplementation enhances the effects of blood flow restriction training on lower limb strength and vertical jump performance under fatigue in male university students: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found that combining beetroot juice supplementation with blood flow restriction (BFR) training produced greater improvements in lower limb strength and vertical jump performance under fatigue conditions compared to BFR training alone in male university students. The findings suggest that dietary nitrate from beetroot juice may potentiate the neuromuscular adaptations associated with BFR protocols. Physical therapists using BFR training for strength rehabilitation may find these results relevant when considering adjunct nutritional strategies.
