Nitrate then Placebo

Participants will consume a daily a beetroot shot for six days. Each shot will consist of: 1x70ml concentrated NO-3 shot of rich Beetroot juice (\~7mmol nitrate; Beet It, James White Drinks Ltd, Ipswich, UK).

Following a minimum of ten days wash out, participants will then consume a daily Nitrate-depleted beetroot shot for six days. Each shot will consist of 1x70ml nitrate-depleted beetroot Placebo shot (\~0.003mmol of nitrate; Beet It, James White Drinks Ltd, Ipswich, UK).
