A recent study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine revealed a groundbreaking intervention for exercise-induced fatigue - inhaling hydrogen-rich gas (HRG) before engaging in acute exercise. The research conducted by a cross-discipline team of U.S. and Chinese researchers, including those at Hebrew SeniorLife's Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research, demonstrated that inhaling HRG prior to exercise can significantly reduce fatigue and enhance performance. The study involved 24 healthy adult men who underwent cycling tests after inhaling either HRG or placebo gas. The key findings showed that HRG inhalation led to reduced perceived fatigue, improved exercise performance, and lower levels of oxidative stress markers after exercise. While the HRG did not impact certain aspects of functional performance, its overall benefits on fatigue and oxidative stress were notable. The study's authors highlighted the potential of HRG inhalation as a valuable strategy for athletes and fitness enthusiasts to improve training and recovery. Dr. Junhong Zhou, from the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research, emphasized the possible benefits of HRG in supporting effective training and better health outcomes. This research opens new avenues for exploring the use of hydrogen-rich gas in sports science and may lead to its widespread adoption for enhancing athletic performance and combating exercise-induced fatigue. Co-authors of the study hailed from various Chinese sports institutions, underlining the international collaboration in this research. Hebrew SeniorLife, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, is a national leader in senior services dedicated to redefining aging possibilities and conducting influential aging research at the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute.
