Study on HW and Athletic Performance
The weariness of muscles and other body systems during exercise is called Exercise-induced oxidative stress and it’s been proven that the molecular hydrogen can greatly improve athletic performance by reducing this stress on cells. It also reduces muscle inflammation and therefore improves recovery rates and boosts energy. Reducing this stress on cells also assists in improving stamina, concentration, endurance, and overall mood during exercise.
In an experiment with 10 young athletes (DB-CT), drinking hydrogen water reduced lactic acid build-up during heavy exercise and decreased muscle fatigue.
Drinking 2 L of hydrogen water daily helped 8 cyclists power through sprints with more energy and less exhaustion in one small 2-week study.
In a study on mice with a serious muscle-wasting disease (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), hydrogen water prevented abnormal body mass gain and increased the production of the antioxidant glutathione peroxidase. Hydrogen water could potentially improve muscular dystrophy in DMD patients.
