Effects of tapering on neuromuscular and metabolic fitness in team sports: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to determine the effect of five days dietary nitrate (NO3-) consumption on exercise tolerance and thermoregulation during cycling in hot, dry conditions. In a double-blind, randomised crossover design, 11 healthy males participated in an exercise tolerance test (Tlim) in the heat (35°C, 28% r...
