Objective: To investigate whether an acute intake of Beetroot Juice (BJ) improved performance factors in a repeated swimming effort at maximum speed in elite swimmers.
Methods: A total of 13 elite swimmers (6 girls and 7 boys) participated in this randomised, double-blind study. In 2 different trials, the swimmers ingested an injection of Beet-It (70 ml placebo (PL) or an injection of Beet-It 70 ml beetroot juice (BJ)) 3 hours before undergoing a 6x100m crawl intermittent maximal speed performance test.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beetroot juice | Active Comparator | The swimmers ingested a shot of Beet-It 70 ml beetroot juice (BJ)) 3 hours before undergoing a 6x100m crawl intermittent maximal speed performance test. |
|
| Placebo | Placebo Comparator | The swimmers ingested a shot of Beet-It (70 ml placebo (PL)) 3 hours before undergoing a 6x100m crawl intermittent maximal speed performance test. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beetroot Juice | Dietary Supplement | The swimmers drank 3 hours before the test, mL70 of BJ (containing mmol6.4 of NO-3) (Beet-It-Pro Elite Shot, James White Drinks Ltd., Ipswich, UK) or PLA (0.04 mmol of NO-3) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Lactate concentration | After the swimmers exited the water, their finger was wiped dry and their blood lactate concentration was measured with a portable Lactate Pro2 analyzer 1 minute after completing each 100-meter set. | 3 hours post-dose of Beetroot juice or Placebo |
| Rate of Perceived Exertion | During the break between 100 and 100, they were asked how hard the effort had been using the subjective RPE scale as in other studies with BJ and swimming. | 3 hours after ingestion of the beetroot juice |
| Recovery Total Quality Scale | Just before these same swimmers performed the next 100, they were asked how recovered they felt, using another subjective TQR scale | 3 hours after ingestion of the beetroot juice |
| Total Time | The complete 6x100 main test was recorded with a JVC model GY-HM150E video camera placed on the stand of the facility itself at about 10 m from the start/turn wall (approximately 5 m above and 10 m from the swim lane) to record the entire session. The recording of the session made it possible to calculate the total times, with the program KINOVEA 0.9.5. | 3 hours after ingestion of the beetroot juice |
| Parcial Time | The complete 6x100 main test was recorded with a JVC model GY-HM150E video camera placed on the stand of the facility itself at about 10 m from the start/turn wall (approximately 5 m above and 10 m from the swim lane) to record the entire session. The recording of the session made it possible to calculate the split times, with the KINOVEA 0.9.5 program. | 3 hours after ingestion of the beetroot juice |
| Counter Movement Jump |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Stroke rate | The complete 6x100 main test was recorded with a JVC model GY-HM150E video camera placed on the stand of the facility itself at about 10 m from the start/turn wall (approximately 5 m above and 10 m from the swim lane) to record the entire session. The recording of the session made it possible to calculate the stroke rate, with the KINOVEA 0.9.5 program. | from the day of randomization to the last day of the intervention: up to day 18 |
