Recent data have suggested that inorganic nitrate ([Formula: see text]) supplementation may benefit males, however, females experience worsened endurance capacity independent of menstrual cycle phase. This study revealed neither [Formula: text] nor the follicular phase influenced maximal isometric voluntary contraction or in healthy, young, naturally menstruating females, whereas significantly estimated peak power (Pmax) and velocity (Vmax)
