Study co-author Andy Jones, professor at the U-E School of Sport and Health Sciences, said: "We were amazed by the effects of beetroot juice on oxygen uptake because these effects cannot be achieved by any other known means, including training.
The first ventilatory threshold (VT1), also referred to as anaerobic threshold (Wasserman, 1964), corresponds to an increase in the ratio of ventilation to oxygen uptake and is considered to be a reproducible measure of aerobic fitness (Yamamoto, 1991).
Subjects were tested for oxygen uptake kinetics by pedaling a stationary bike at a constant rate for six minutes, and then for exercise capacity by pedaling at 50 percent of their predicted maximum workload for one minute, then increasing output by 25 percent each additional minute until exhaustion, usually after 8 to 12 minutes.
