Clinical TrialHighlightedHydrogen-rich water supplementation exhibits dose- and age-dependent effects on delayed-onset muscle soreness in professional soccer playersMHID-96660182025Journal of Physical Education and SportJakub Krejčí, Michal Botek, Shigeo Ohta, Klara Botkova, Andrew McKuneProblem Statement: Effective inter-match recovery plays a crucial role in preserving performance and preventing injuries in well-trained soccer players. In this context, molecular hydrogen has attracted increasing attention in sports science due to its selective antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and cell-signaling properties that may facilitate recovery. Among the various administration methods, h
Clinical TrialHighlightedHydrogen-rich water supplementation promotes muscle recovery after two strenuous training sessions performed on the same day in elite fin swimmers: randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trialMHID-7726015PMID: 386811432024Frontiers in PhysiologyBarbora Sládečková, Michal Botek, Jakub Krejčí, Michal Valenta, Andrew McKune, Filip Neuls, et al.Purpose: Molecular hydrogen has been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, ergogenic, and recovery-enhancing effects. This study aimed to assess the effect of molecular hydrogen administration on muscle performance, damage, and perception of soreness up to 24 h of recovery after two strenuous training sessions performed on the same day in elite fin swimmers. Methods: Eight females (mean ±
