| Abstract | Hydrogen, as an antioxidant, may have the potential to mitigate fatigue and improve selected oxidative stress markers induced by strenuous exercise. This study focused on previously unexplored approach of pre-exercise inhalation of hydrogen-rich gas (HRG). Twenty-four healthy adult men first completed prelaboratories to determine maximum cycling power (Wmax) and maximum cycling time (Tmax). Then they were subjected to ride Tmax at 80% Wmax on cycle ergometers after inhaled HRG or placebo gas (air) for 60-minute in a double-blind, counterbalanced, randomized, and crossover design. The cycling frequency in the fatigue modelling process and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) at the beginning and end of the ride were recorded. Before gas inhalation and after fatigue modeling, visual analog scale (VAS) for fatigue and counter-movement jump (CMJ) were tested, and blood samples were obtained. The results showed that compared to placebo, HRG inhalation induced significant improvement in VAS, RPE, the cycling frequency in the last 30 seconds, the ability to inhibit hydroxyl radicals, and serum lactate after exercise (p < 0.028), but not in CMJ height and glutathione peroxidase activit. In conclusions, HRG inhalation prior to acute exercise can alleviate exercise-induced fatigue, maintain functional performance, and improve hydroxyl radical and lactate levels. |
