The purpose of this study is to investigate the acute, separate, and combined ergogenic effects of dietary nitrate (beetroot juice, BJ) and caffeine (CAF) supplementation on discipline-specific athletic performance. The project employs a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, four-arm crossover design. It evaluates two highly distinct, heterogeneous populations of athletes: (A) adult high-intensity functional training (HIFT/CrossFit/Hyrox) competitors performing the standardized Hyrox Physical Fitness Test (P'F'T), and (B) elite junior competitive swimmers (National Team members) performing a progressive 8 × 100 m swimming test. The study will assess physical performance, lactate kinetics, subjective exertion, biochemical indices, psychological metrics, and gastrointestinal tolerance.
