What the study is about

The goal of this randomized counterbalanced repeated measures study is to test beet-root juice supplementation and red light therapy augment forearm muscle endurance in apparently healthy older adults over 65 years of age. The main questions seek to answer the following question:

Does beet-root juice supplementation improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a placebo supplement?

Does red light therapy improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a sham light exposure?

Does beet-root juice supplementation in combination with red light therapy improve forearm muscle endurance compared to a placebo-sham light control?

Being studied: Beet-root juice; red-light therapy; Placebo; sham light

Conditions: Health Care Utilization; Healthy Aging
