Study Groups

Beet-root juice plus red-light therapy
Beet-root juice
Two days prior to the forearm endurance protocol, participants will be provided and instructed to consume a 400mg nitrate once per day. On the day of the forearm endurance protocol, the participants will be provided and instructed to consume a third 400mg dose of nitrates at least 150 minutes before forearm endurance testing.
red-light therapy
Participants will place their dominant forearm 15 centimeters away from the light source and have their dominant forearm exposed to 660nm wave length light for 10-minutes.
Beet-root juice plus sham light therapy

sham light
Participants will place their dominant forearm 15 centimeters away from the light source and have their dominant forearm exposed to sham light for 10-minutes.
Placebo plus red-light therapy
red-light therapy
Participants will place their dominant forearm 15 centimeters away from the light source and have their dominant forearm exposed to 660nm wave length light for 10-minutes.
Placebo
Two days prior to the forearm endurance protocol, participants will be provided and instructed to consume a nitrate depleted placebo once per day. On the day of the forearm endurance protocol, the participants will be provided and instructed to consume a third dose of the nitrate depleted placebo at least 150 minutes before forearm endurance testing.
