1 st Conference of European Academy for Molecular Hydrogen Research in Biomedicine “Hydrogen for Biomedicine“

Sladeckova Barbora

Barbora Sládečková is a PhD student of Faculty of Physical Culture, PalackýUniversity Olomouc, Czech Republic. She is working on her PhD in exercise physiology field and her main research interests include molecular hydrogen and its impact on different physiological parameters as the result of exercise and sport performance. She is the part of successful team from Olomouc which has already published couple of highly evaluated scientific articles dealing with molecular hydrogen across different conditions. She is currently starting to work on her final thesis which evaluates impact of molecular hydrogen on selected objective and subjective bioindicators in finswimmers.

THE ON PERFORMANCE FOLLOWING HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING Barbora Sládečková, Michal Botek, Jakub Krejčí, Michal Valenta, Filip Neuls Department of Natural Sciences in Kinanthropology, Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University Olomouc, Olomouc, Czech Republic BACKGROUND: Hydrogen-rich water (HRW) supplementation has been shown to have beneficial effects across different types of performances and sports. The impact of HRW on highly specific performance following high intensity interval training is unclear. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to asses the effect of hydrogen-rich water on 400-m finswimming performance following high intensity interval training. METHODS: Seven elite czech women finswimmers (age 21,6 ± 6,2 years, stature 162,8 ± 5,5 cm, body mass 60,2 ± 6,9 kg) and three elite czech men finswimmers (age 17,2 ± 1,2 let, stature 180,5 ± 5,5 cm, body mass 67,2 ± 7,3 kg) participated in this study. The presented study took place in 25 m long swimming pool and times were recorded by three timekeepers according to official rules of finswimming. RESULTS: 400 m distance was performed faster with HRW compared with placebo (HRW: 226,4 ± 19,7 s and placebo 227,8 ± 19,9 s, p 0,023). CONCLUSIONS: HRW intake had positive effect on 400-m finswimming performance following high intensity interval training. This work was supported by grant IGA_FTK_2020_007 from Palacký University Olomouc entitled “Assessment of the influence of molecular hydrogen on organism response and performance during interval load and the following process of 24- hour recovery using selected subjective and objective bioindicators in finswimmers.” This study was also supported by the research project of science and technology park BALUO Application Centre of Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacký University Olomouc, entitled “Assessment of the effectiveness of healthy and active lifestyle of adult individuals on selected health indicators with the subjects of research conducted by BALUO Application Centre of Faculty of Physical Culture, Palacky University Olomouc - retrospective study”.
