Drinking hydrogen water enhances endurance and relieves psychometric fatigue: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
RESULTS: The study demonstrated that individuals in the hydrogen water (H2) group experienced significant improvements in endurance and fatigue, as measured by maximal oxygen consumption and Borg's scale, respectively. These results collectively suggest that consuming H2 water just before exercise can enhance endurance and exhibit anti-fatigue effects, supporting its use as an effective pre-exercise supplement.

28-Days Hydrogen-Rich Water Supplementation Affects Exercise Capacity in Mid-Age Overweight Women
RESULTS: This study demonstrates that molecular hydrogen (H2) supplementation can significantly enhance body composition, metabolic profiles, and mitochondrial function in overweight women. Notably, the intervention with hydrogen-rich water (HRW) led to a marked improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness, as evidenced by a higher VO2max (26.2 ± 4.8 ml/kg/min) compared to the placebo group (24.2 ± 4.1 ml/kg/min) at a 28-day follow-up, with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.03). These results highlight the potential of H2 as a beneficial supplement in improving overall metabolic health and physical performance.

Acute Supplementation with Molecular Hydrogen Benefits Submaximal Exercise Indices. Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Pilot Study
RESULTS: The study observed a significant reduction in heart rate, from 125.9 ± 25.5 to 120.8 ± 25.7, following the intervention. Additionally, there was a reduction in respiratory rate during exercise. These results suggest that the intervention can contribute to improved cardiovascular efficiency during physical activity.

Effects of molecular hydrogen supplementation on fatigue and aerobic capacity in healthy adults
RESULTS: This meta-analysis provides moderate evidence that H2 supplementation alleviates fatigue. RPE (SMDpooled = −0.38, 95%CI −0.65 to −0.11, p = 0.006, I2 = 33.6%, p = 0.149) and blood lactate (SMDpooled = −0.42, 95% CI −0.72 to −0.12, p = 0.006, I2 = 35.6%, p = 0.114) were small yet significant with low heterogeneity.
