This study is looking at whether adding a nitrate-enriched beetroot juice to an exercise program can improve health benefits for older adults. You might be able to join if you are 60 or older, generally healthy, and haven't been in a structured exercise program recently. Participants will either receive nitrate-enriched beetroot juice (Beet It Sport Nitrate 400) or a nitrate-depleted beetroot juice (placebo), along with a 12-week supervised exercise program. The main goal is to see if the nitrate supplement helps more older adults get the full health benefits from exercise. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 226 people.
