- Beetroot juice (BRJ) supplementation combined with blood flow restriction (BFR) training enhances lower limb strength and vertical jump performance under fatigue in male university students.
- The study involved 20 male students divided into BFR and BFR+BRJ groups, undergoing a four-week training program with pre- and post-intervention assessments.
- Both groups showed significant improvements in knee extensor/flexor strength and countermovement jump (CMJ) performance, but the BFR+BRJ group had better fatigue resistance in vertical jumps.
- BRJ supplementation selectively enhanced BFR training by reducing fatigue-related declines in performance rather than broadly improving all outcomes.
