Hiroto Ito who graduated Sport and Health Science of Ritsumeikan University in March, 2019, and his research manuscript was published in “Temperature”, which collaborated with Professor Kazushige Goto. This study investigated the effect of ingesting electrolyzed hydrogen water (EHW) during prolonged exercise in a heated environment. As a result, EHW presented significantly lower energy expenditure during 60 min pedaling exercise than purified water, suggesting the potential benefit of ingesting EHW during endurance exercise in the heat.
