Summary

Dietary NO3 is found in high concentrations in green leafy vegetables and beets. Studies weighing the action of NO3 for ergogenic purposes have found metabolic improvement in skeletal muscle during exercise in hypoxia, lowering blood pressure and increased workload at anaerobic threshold. In a way, the use of nitrate in combination with exercise may assist in autonomic adaptation to multiple stimuli, such as rest, during exercise and during the recovery period. HRV is one of the most practical methods for analyzing the physiological functioning of the ANS, both in the pathological condition of the individual and in the induction of other variables. peak-R (RRI) of consecutive heart beats. This study aims to evaluate the effect of beet extract supplementation in combination with submaximal strength exercise on heart rate variability and cardiovascular parameters of physically active individuals. It is a double-blind randomized crossover clinical trial.
