H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In these healthy non-trained participants (n = 99), psychometric fatigue judged by visual analogue scales was significantly decreased in the H₂ group after mild exercise.
What the Researchers Studied
In Experiment 1, all participants drank only placebo water in the first cycle ergometer exercise session, and for comparison they drank either H₂ water or placebo water 30 min before exercise in the s.
How Molecular Hydrogen Was Used
Here, the researchers examined the effects of drinking H₂ water (H₂-infused water) on psychometric fatigue and endurance capacity in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled fashion. In Experiment 1, all participants drank only placebo water in the first cycle ergometer exercise session, and for comparison they drank either H₂ water or placebo water 30 min before exercise in the second examination.
What the Researchers Found
In these healthy non-trained participants (n = 99), psychometric fatigue judged by visual analogue scales was significantly decreased in the H₂ group after mild exercise. Endurance and fatigue were significantly improved in the H₂ group as judged by maximal oxygen consumption and Borg's scale, respectively.
H₂ Mechanisms / Biological Findings
Reported molecular-hydrogen-related mechanisms included molecular hydrogen (H₂) acts as a therapeutic antioxidant directly or indirectly by inducing antioxidative enzymes.
