Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Aging

• Registration Number: NCT06163287
• Lead Sponsor: University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education

Brief Summary

The study investigates the impact of consuming hydrogen-rich water over a six-week period on exercise-related biomarkers among individuals aged over 50, both men and women, who undergo a resistance training program. This research aims to discern the potential benefits of hydrogen-infused water consumption concerning exercise-related markers in an aging demographic post-resistance training.
