Researchers at Oxford Brookes University would like to recruit people aged 40-65 with type 2 diabetes to take part in a study investigating whether beetroot juice can improve cardiovascular responses and recovery after exercise.
Participants will complete one short online screening appointment and two laboratory visits.
During each visit, participants will consume either beetroot juice or a placebo drink, perform a light cycling exercise, and undergo measurements including heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar and saliva testing.
This research aims to improve understanding of how dietary nitrate affects heart health in people with type 2 diabetes and may contribute to future recommendations for safe and effective exercise.
