A report published in 2010 in “Food and Nutrition Sciences” states that athletes who
participate in events taking one to seven minutes, such as 100- to 400-meter swimming
and 400- to 1,500-meter running, benefit most from sodium bicarbonate. In regard to
resistance training, a study published in 2014 in the “Journal of Strength and Conditioning
Research” demonstrated a marked improvement in performing squats and bench presses
to exhaustion when participants took baking soda compared to a placebo. Studies of elite
rowers doing a 2k for time, for example, tend to note no benefit or an insignificant one.
Swimming is the opposite; studies using a repeated sprint protocol (either 10 sprints of
50m or 5 sprints of 100-200m) have shown that the decline in performance normally seen
with repeated sprints is abolished with sodium bicarbonate.
Conclusion
In the very near future, the reality of widespread Hydrogen/Oxygen gas usage in Sports
Medicine will become a reality. On the performance side, machines that can safely
provide enough mixed gas (Hydrogen and Oxygen) for delivery to multiple athletes at the
same time, will provide them with protections from the intense oxidation stress that high
intensity activities cause in the body. This protection will take the form of both pre- and
post-workout protocols that include infused water and inhalation. These protocols will
revolutionize the fitness industry.
If you are an athlete you will want a hydrogen inhaler in your house and your professional
team will want one on the sidelines, a powerful hydrogen inhaler that will saturate a
freshly injured body in minutes with soothing hydrogen and life-giving oxygen.
Hydrogen will enhance performance. It will decrease the pain of intense sports; recovery
times from injuries will be much shorter. We should have guessed that the same gas that
would make it possible to dive almost 2,000 feet down in the sea, enabling human activity
at bone crushing depth and stress, would give up its life sustaining power to athletes on
the surface.
