Yes, hydrogen water may help improve athletic performance by reducing oxidative stress and muscle fatigue during exercise. Studies suggest that molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant, targeting harmful free radicals generated during intense physical activity, which in turn can enhance endurance, decrease muscle soreness, and promote quicker recovery. While preliminary research is promising, more large-scale human studies are needed to fully confirm these benefits and establish standardized usage guidelines for athletes.
