Nitrate Supplement Benefits Contractile Forces in Fatigued but Not Unfatigued Muscle

Conclusions Nitrate supplementation reduced the decline in explosive voluntary forces during a fatiguing protocol and attenuated low-frequency fatigue, likely due to reduced disruption of excitation–contraction coupling. However, contrary to previous findings, nitrate supplementation had no effect on contractile performance in unfatigued conditions.
