简要总结
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?

结局指标
主要结局
Total forearm work performed
时间窗: During the forearm exercise fatigue protocol lasting up to 45 minutes
Work is the product of the number of times the forearm is activated multiplied by the amount of force produced by the forearm in kilograms.
次要结局
- Intermuscular coordination(During the forearm exercise fatigue protocol lasting up to 45 minutes)
- Forearm endurance(During the forearm exercise fatigue protocol lasting up to 45 minutes)
