Breathing training and nitrate for altitude exercise
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You exercise at least 3 hours a week.
- You have not smoked or used tobacco in the last 6 months.
- You do not have any heart, lung, or metabolic condition.
- You are willing to avoid foods like beets, spinach, or arugula for 2 days before each test session.

This study tests whether taking nitrate (from beetroot) and caffeine together can improve performance in high-intensity workouts or swimming. It may help athletes who train hard and compete regularly.
This study tests whether a breathing muscle training program (using an app) can improve endurance in healthy cyclists and triathletes. If you are a competitive road cyclist or triathlete, this might help you learn more about your breathing and performance.
This trial tests whether a natural nitrate supplement (like beetroot juice) can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function in people with resistant hypertension. If you have resistant hypertension and your medications have been stable for at least 30 days, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether adding a natural nitrate supplement to a supervised exercise program can boost the health benefits of exercise in older adults. It will compare exercise plus supplement versus exercise plus placebo to see which improves fitness and heart health more.
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.
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve exercise performance in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (scarring in the lungs). It may help your body use oxygen better during activity if you meet the study’s safety and lung-function requirements.
