Abstract
Introduction. The study of molecular hydrogen as the latest therapeutic and prophylactic corrector of metabolism has been successfully tested on more than 170 models of pathological conditions. Its effective antioxidant, cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory effect on the body has been proven. Separate studies of the effects of molecular hydrogen have been conducted on athletes. The aim of the study - to investigate the level of research and efficiency of using molecular hydrogen in sports medicine and to predict the algorithm of its further research and practical use. Research Methods: Analysis, generalization of data of professional scientific literature for researching the effect of molecular hydrogen in physical culture and sports and identify opportunities and criteria for its use for athletes and physically active people Results. An analytical study based on the results of professional publications about the effective use of molecular hydrogen for athletes in the world was conducted. The advantages and disadvantages of using molecular hydrogen for the organism are reasoned. Ways and methods of entry of molecular hydrogen into the body are described. Inventions of molecular hydrogen generators of Ukrainian scientists, their advantages over foreign analogues and possibilities of their application in sports are shown. Conclusions. Today in view of the analysis of the situation with the use of molecular hydrogen for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes in medicine and sports medicine in particular, the algorithm of prospects for its further research and practical application follows. Firstly, to study the optimal protocol for the intake of molecular hydrogen, depending on the intensity of physical activity, body weight, age, sex, comorbidities, etc.; secondly, to develop personalized antioxidant strategies for the using molecular hydrogen, taking into account the individual redox characteristics of individuals; thirdly, to investigate the consequences of long-term intake of H2 during exercise; fourthly, to reveal the alternative mechanism underlying the antioxidant action and other positive effects of molecular hydrogen. Key words: sports medicine, hydrogen water, «TIG «Liwing Water»», redox potential, oxidative stress.
