About this study
Official title: Acute Effects of Beetroot Juice Ingestion on Components of Vertical Jump Performance
Beetroot juice is a dietary supplement with good evidence for improving sports performance in different sport contexts, however, the evidence about the effects of beetroot juice in jump capacity is unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive examination of beetroot juice effects on vertical jump performance
Read the detailed description
Beetroot juice is a dietary supplement with good evidence for improving sports performance in different sport contexts, however, the evidence about the effects of beetroot juice in jump capacity is unclear. Therefore a deeper knowledge about the effects of beetroot juice on several components of vertical jump performance remain largely unexplored between we can mention phase duration peak power, average power, peak velocity, initial force, and peak force. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive examination of beetroot juice effects on several countermovement jump components.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Beetroot juice in people with Dietary Supplements, run by Universidad Francisco de Vitoria at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Jump height (time frame: 72-hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2022.
