H2HUBB TAKEAWAY

In participants, sprint time at 30 m also significantly improved by 1.9% in the HRW group in the last sprint.

What the Researchers Studied

The study examined randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial.

How Molecular Hydrogen Was Used

Molecular hydrogen was administered as hydrogen-rich water.

What the Researchers Found

There were significantly faster sprint times after HRW consumption compared with placebo at 15 m for the 14th and 15th sprints, representing improvements in time of 3.4% and 2.7%, respectively. Sprint time at 30 m also significantly improved by 1.9% in the HRW group in the last sprint.

H₂ Mechanisms / Biological Findings

The source material reviewed did not establish a specific molecular hydrogen mechanism for the reported findings.
