Effect of acute nitrate ingestion on V̇O 2 response at different exercise intensity domains.
Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism 2017 November
While nitrate supplementation influences oxygen uptake (V̇O2 ) response to exercise, this effect may be intensity dependent. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acute nitrate supplementation on V̇O2 response during different exercise intensity domains in humans. Eleven men ingested 10 mg·kg-1 body mass (8.76 ± 1.35 mmol) of sodium nitrate or sodium chloride (placebo) 2.5 h before cycling at moderate (90% of gas exchange threshold; GET), heavy (GET + 40% of the difference between GET and peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak ), Δ 40) or severe (GET + 80% of the difference between GET and V̇O2peak , Δ 80) exercise intensities. Volunteers performed exercise for 10 min (moderate), 15 min (heavy) or until exhaustion (severe). Acute nitrate supplementation had no effect on any V̇O2 response parameters during moderate and severe exercise intensities. However, the V̇O2 slow amplitude (nitrate: 0.93 ± 0.36 L·min-1 vs. placebo: 1.13 ± 0.59 L·min-1 , p = 0.04) and V̇O2 slow gain (nitrate: 5.81 ± 2.37 mL·min-1 ·W-1 vs. placebo: 7.09 ± 3.67 mL·min-1 ·W-1 , p = 0.04) were significantly lower in nitrate than in placebo during the heavy exercise intensity. There was no effect of nitrate on plasma lactate during any exercise intensity (p > 0.05). Time to exhaustion during the severe exercise intensity was also not affected by nitrate (p > 0.05). In conclusion, acute nitrate supplementation reduced the slow component of V̇O2 only when performing heavy-intensity exercise, which might indicate an intensity-dependent effect of nitrate on V̇O2 response.
