Limited Effects of Inorganic Nitrate Supplementation on Exercise Training Responses: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inorganic nitrate (NO₃^-) supplementation is purported to benefit short-term exercise performance, but it is unclear whether NO₃^- improves longer-term exercise training responses (such as improvements in VO_2peak or time to exhaustion (TTE)) versus exercise training alone. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effects of NO₃^- supplementation combined with exercise training on VO_2peak and TTE, and to identify potential factors that may impact outcomes.

Methods

Electronic databases (PubMed, Medscape, and Web of Science) were searched for articles published through June 2022 with article inclusion determined a priori as: (1) randomized placebo-
