About this study
Official title: Acute Effects of Beetroot Juice Supplementation Among Neuromuscular Performance in Amateur Climbers
Whereas beetroot juice (BJ) supplementation is shown to increase physical performance in endurance activities, its benefits in neuromuscular function and strength performance has been barely studied. In this cross-over randomized placebo-controlled study, we investigated the effects of BJ acute supplementation in improving neuromuscular performance in amateur climbers

- Dietary Supplement, Sport Performance
- Being tested
- Beetroot Juice (BJ) acute supplementation, Placebo Juice (PLA) acute supplementation
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

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.

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?
Changes in rate of force development (N/s) at 50, 100 and 200 ms; and at 95% of maximal force (time frame: 1 week). 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 27 Jan 2022.
