Exercise performance refers to the ability to perform physical activity effectively, which is influenced by factors such as strength, endurance, flexibility, and technique. Optimizing Exercise performance involves understanding and improving these factors through training, nutrition, and recovery strategies.
Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that combines with histidine to form carnosine, which helps buffer acid in muscles, increasing physical performance in high-intensity exercise. It is commonly used as a supplement to enhance athletic performance and delay muscle fatigue.
The nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway is a critical biological process whereby dietary nitrates are sequentially reduced to nitrite and then to nitric oxide, influencing cardiovascular health, blood pressure regulation, and exercise performance. This pathway underscores the important role of dietary sources and endogenous in vivo conversion in maintaining nitric oxide levels in the body.
