CHRONIC DISEASE
Aging results in more rapid fatigue during, and slower recovery from, dynamic exercise. Older women in particular are prone to these negative effects of aging, which increases their risk of falls. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether acute dietary NOIn the present study, the ingestion of BRJ containing 15.6 ± 3.6 mmol of NODespite the above, acute NOA novel aspect of the present investigation was determination of the effects of dietary NOThere are a number of strengths to the present study, including a relatively large sample size, careful screening of participants to avoid confounding the effects of aging with those due to chronic disease, and the rigorous evaluation of muscle fatigability/recoverability during/after high intensity dynamic exercise. There are, however, a number of limitations as well. Specifically, as indicated above we did not collect any mechanistic measurements (e.g., changes in blood flow, PCr kinetics, etc.) that could have provided further insight into the effects of acute NO
