this is sweet, I've never heard of this either. And this is quite affordable as well, minus the expense of the juicer. More affordable than cordyceps, but cordy is totally worth it - well I'll look for a study and post it later, but I'm have to go to a yoga class now... with friends of course, but I hope it will increase my recovery.
I just wonder, these types of ergogenic aids are targeted towards the endurance athlete; do you know of how (biochemically or w/e) this could help a sprinter? Like as the ATP/AP is running low, maybe this could do something? Cuz then us anaerobic athletes could benefit from this as well.

not sure about the beetroot and anaerobic performance, havn't looked into it that much. For anaerobic athletes, creatine definitely works.

loll, I think if you had a juicer it would work, I think any vegetable juice could help endurance..electrolytes, alkaline byproducts. But also I think beet juice is supposed to be quite sweet actually, so it could be the sugar in this study as well helping.

theAktor is on the beetroot juice experiment:
