Clinical TrialAcute pre-exercise hydrogen rich water intake does not improve running performance at maximal aerobic speed in trained track and field runners: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover studyMHID-7655607PMID: 365385542022PLOS ONEMichal Valenta, Michal Botek, Jakub Krejčí, Andrew McKune, Barbora Sládečková, Filip Neuls, et al.Purpose This study investigated the effects of acute, pre-exercise, hydrogen rich water (HRW) ingestion on running time to exhaustion at maximal aerobic speed in trained track and field runners. Methods Twenty-four, male runners aged 17.5 ± 1.8 years, with body mass index = 21.0 ± 1.3 kgm-2, and maximal oxygen uptake = 55.0 ± 4.6 mlkg-1min-1 (mean ± standard deviation) participated in this ran
Clinical TrialHydrogen Rich Water Improved Ventilatory, Perceptual and Lactate Responses to ExerciseMHID-2512221PMID: 315745442019International Journal of Sports MedicineMichal Botek, Jakub Krejčí, Andrew J. McKune, Barbora Sládečková, Nenad NaumovskiThe potential anti-fatigue and performance benefits of hydrogen rich water (HRW) have resulted in increased research interest over the past 5 years. The aim of this study was to assess physiological and perceptual responses to an incremental exercise protocol after administration of 600 ml HRW within 30 min before exercise. This randomized, double blinded placebo-controlled cross over study includ
