The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of acute beetroot juice supplementation on
exercise performance and cardiometabolic health in obese individuals with secondary
cardiometabolic complications. Additionally, we will determine if the ergogenic health
benefits of beetroot juice is due to the nitric oxide compound within the product, the
antioxidant compound within the product, or a combination of the two compounds.
