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.

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

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

who here is giong to try some beetroot juice? :) tkxii ???? bis0n ????

i'd rather buy it pre-juiced, just thinking about blending up beets and drinking it is making me want to puke.. hah

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.

Raw beets taste nice, pretty sweet. Grated, with a balsamic vinaigrette with a bit of brown mustard in it. Delicious. Not sure how they'd be juiced.
