Resumo
Introdução: O treinamento de endurance abrange a resistência muscular e cardiorrespiratória, determinando a capacidade do atleta de absorver e utilizar oxigênio durante a atividade. A beterraba, rica em nitrato, precursor do óxido nítrico, atua como vasodilatador, melhorando o fluxo sanguíneo. Essa propriedade aumenta a eficiência no transporte de oxigênio, especialmente em condições de elevada demanda, como no exercício de endurance. Objetivo: Esta revisão integrativa, pois, visa a compreender quais são os efeitos do consumo de suco de beterraba no desempenho esportivo de praticantes de endurance. Metodologia: A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e BVS. Foram selecionados artigos em língua portuguesa ou inglesa publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2013 a 2023), envolvendo adultos com 18 anos ou mais, de ambos os sexos, incluindo atletas e sedentários. Resultados: Foram identificados 59 estudos nas bases de dados, sendo selecionados 5 artigos após as etapas de exclusão de duplicatas, de análise dos títulos e da leitura completa dos artigos. Conclusão: Os estudos analisados sustentam a hipótese de que a suplementação com suco de beterraba pode oferecer efeitos positivos no desempenho esportivo, especialmente em atividades de endurance. No entanto, a complexidade das respostas fisiológicas, a variabilidade entre os indivíduos e a dependência de diferentes modalidades esportivas exigem uma abordagem criteriosa ao considerar a aplicabilidade prática desses resultados. Palavras-chave: beetroot juice; training; endurance.
Introduction: Endurance training covers muscular and cardiorespiratory resistance, determining the athlete's ability to absorb and use oxygen during activity. Beetroot, rich in nitrate, a precursor to nitric oxide, acts as a vasodilator, improving blood flow. This property increases oxygen transport efficiency, especially in conditions of high demand, such as endurance exercise. Objective: This integrative review, therefore, aims to understand the effects of consuming beetroot juice on the sports performance of endurance practitioners. Methodology: The research was conducted in the PubMed, Scielo and VHL databases. Articles in Portuguese or English published in the last 10 years (2013 to 2023) were selected, involving adults aged 18 or over, of both sexes, including athletes and sedentary people. Results: 59 studies were identified in the databases, with 5 articles being selected after the steps of excluding duplicates, analyzing the titles and reading the articles in full. Conclusion: The studies analyzed support the hypothesis that supplementation with beet juice can offer positive effects on sports performance, especially in endurance activities. However, the complexity of physiological responses, the variability between individuals and the dependence on different sports modalities require a judicious approach when considering the practical applicability of these results. Keywords: beetroot juice; training; endurance.
