Submaximal Exercise Capacity Between Beet Juice and Caffeine
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)Both caffeine and beet juice have been used by athletes and trainers around the world in order to help boost their energy levels and perform longer. Beet juice is used because it contains healthy and natural substances ... -
The supplement Beast Mode and its effect on anaerobic power
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-06-11)Anaerobic metabolism is the production of energy in the absence of oxygen and anaerobic power can be measured as either mean or peak power output in exercise that lasts thirty seconds or less. Power is force times velocity ... -
