This Phase 2 study tests how engaging in supervised exercise affects the body’s blood-vessel responses in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who don’t exercise regularly. It may help researchers understand whether exercise could be beneficial for CKD-related health changes.
This study tests whether drinking beetroot juice before exercise can improve blood pressure and heart rate response during physical activity in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help understand if this simple dietary addition can make exercise more beneficial for heart health.
This study tests whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates that help blood vessels relax, combined with exercise, can improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You might be able to join if you have PAD, can walk without a walker, and are willing to avoid beet products for a while.
This study looks at whether a natural supplement from beetroot (inorganic nitrate) helps lower blood pressure after exercise in people who are obese and have slightly high blood pressure. Participants will take the supplement or a placebo and do supervised cycling sessions.
