A novel finding from this study was that changes in the BAP\/d-ROMs relative to the baseline, as an index of systemic antioxidant potential, were decreased in PW trial but maintained by intake of HW during the 3 consecutive days of strenuous exercise.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O15-3-3\">We have previously examined the effects of cooling intervention using ice packs to the quadriceps muscle on exercise performance during 3 successive days of intense exercise.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R19-3\">19<\/a><\/sup> The results demonstrated that this cooling strategy significantly attenuated the reduction in leg muscle performances (i.e., the peak and mean power outputs in 10-second maximal pedaling and MVIC of knee extensors) that were observed in the non-cooling control trial and completely suppressed the exercise-induced increase in serum creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase activities during the 3 consecutive days of exercise.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R19-3\">19<\/a><\/sup> Moreover, the reduction in muscle performance might be, at least in part, due to increased ROS-induced oxidative damage.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R2-3\">2<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R3-3\">3<\/a><\/sup> Accordingly, the present study adopted the same exercise protocol as our previous investigation, in which the 3-day accumulative fatigue could impair the muscle performance and redox status. Contrary to our expectation, any exercise performances assessed in this study were not reduced as the day passed (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"javascript:showSlideShowByImageID('T1-3', '01612956-202010010-00003');\">Table 1<\/a>), or rather, the peak and mean power outputs were slightly, but significantly increased from Day 1 to Day 2, irrespective of the water effect. Although the reason for this discrepancy between these studies remains unknown, the smaller volume of exercise (4-time measurements of countermovement jumps and MVIC, and only 12-minute sprint cycling per day) might be somewhat related to the unchanged exercise performance. Indeed, one previous study suggested that a muscle damaging exercise protocol (300-time eccentric contractions) induced the reduced peak torque of isokinetic muscle contraction of knee extensors and the elevated oxidative damages estimated by increases in protein carbonyls and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R20-3\">20<\/a><\/sup> Taken together, future studies considering the exercise protocol (volume, mode, intensity, and so on) are required.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O15-3-4\">The excessive disruption in the redox status has a harmful impact on physiological homeostasis, which could be a trigger for injury, disease, and the lack of training adaptations.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R1-3\">1<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R2-3\">2<\/a><\/sup> The BAP\/d-ROMs is an index of an individual\u2019s antioxidant potential against oxidative attack, such as that observed during vigorous exercise.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R21-3\">21<\/a><\/sup> Moreover, as a previous study has reported that HW significantly elevated serum BAP\/d-ROMs,<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R12-3\">12<\/a><\/sup> we measured d-ROMs and BAP in the present study. In PW trial, the relative change in serum BAP\/d-ROMs was drastically reduced from Day 3 to Day 4 (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"javascript:showSlideShowByImageID('F2-3', '01612956-202010010-00003');\">Figure 2C<\/a>). Although the precise underlying mechanism of the reduction in BAP\/d-ROMs in PW remains unknown, we speculate that a synergistic effect of the increase in oxidative damage and the decrease in antioxidant capacity by 3-day repetition of a strenuous exercise session might be involved. Indeed, previous studies have suggested that the activity of xanthine oxidase in endothelial cells, which is known as one of the main sources for post-exercise ROS generation,<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R22-3\">22<\/a><\/sup> was increased 3.2\u20133.5 folds by a single bout of 20-second sprint cycling 24 hours after the completion of exercise.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R23-3\">23<\/a><\/sup> In addition, the degree of activation by xanthine oxidase was negatively associated with the peak and mean power outputs during the anaerobic exercise.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R23-3\">23<\/a><\/sup> Accordingly, the increased mean and peak power outputs at Day 2 might accelerate the generation of ROS during the recovery phase after the exercise test at Day 3, which in turn, may function to elevate the serum d-ROMs from Day 3 to Day 4 (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"javascript:showSlideShowByImageID('T2-3', '01612956-202010010-00003');\">Table 2<\/a> and <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"javascript:showSlideShowByImageID('F3-3', '01612956-202010010-00003');\">Figure 3A<\/a>). In contrast, GSH (reduced glutathione, an antioxidant marker) was temporarily decreased by acute sprint cycling,<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R24-3\">24<\/a><\/sup> and gradually decreased following consecutive days of strenuous exercise as the day passed.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R20-3\">20<\/a><\/sup> Moreover, acute intense exercise (165-km cycling competition) decreased neutrophil antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase).<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R25-3\">25<\/a><\/sup> Although the exercise volume in the present study was relatively small, these findings raise the possibility that the repetition of strenuous exercise impairs these antioxidant capacities. Consequently, changes in the BAP\/d-ROMs at Day 4 were significantly reduced from Day 2 and Day 3.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O15-3-5\">Interestingly, HW suppressed the reduction in BAP\/d-ROMs from the baseline levels during all the experimental days.

Furthermore, in a recent study, HW attenuated the GSH depletion by pyocyanin (as an inducer of hydroxylradical), and thereby suppressed the increase in lipid peroxide and cellular senescence in a primary mouse embryonic fibroblast cell culture model.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R26-3\">26<\/a><\/sup> Additionally, drinking HW increased the gene expression and\/or activities of cellular and blood antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase.<sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R14-3\">14<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R27-3\">27<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R28-3\">28<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R29-3\">29<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R30-3\">30<\/a><\/sup><sup><a class=\"ejp-citation-link js-ejp-citation-link\" data-reference-links=\"R31-3\">31<\/a><\/sup> Collectively, the maintenance of BAP\/d-ROMs in HW trial might be due to the attenuation of the reduction of these antioxidant potentials. However, we must acknowledge that these explanations are highly speculative, as we did not evaluate other potential oxidative stress markers. Hence, future studies are required to investigate the ergogenic and therapeutic effect of HW with extensive analysis of oxidative stress markers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O15-3-6\">The present study has some limitations. First, our exercise protocol did not induce decrements in exercise performance and an elevation in oxidative damages when compared to baseline. Accordingly, the magnitude of therapeutic benefits of HW in preventing muscle fatigue and in keeping adequate redox status, under the more severe exercise protocol, remains unclear. Second, unexpected differences between the two trials in the BAP\/d-ROMs at Day 1 made it difficult to interpret the present results. Third, as the beverages used in the present study were blinded only for the participants, we may have under- or over-estimated the effects of HW on physiological responses. Finally, the sample size (<em xmlns_mrws=\"http:\/\/webservices.ovid.com\/mrws\/1.0\">n<\/em> = 8) in the present study was quite small; since the relative change in the BAP\/d-ROMs at Day 4 was marginally higher in HW trial than PW trial (<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"javascript:showSlideShowByImageID('F2-3', '01612956-202010010-00003');\">Figure 2C<\/a>), a significant differences in redox status between the two trials might be detected with a larger sample size.<\/p>\n<p id=\"O15-3-7\">In conclusion, HW drinking attenuated the reduction in BAP\/d-ROMs during consecutive days of strenuous exercise. Our findings suggest HW drinking as a useful strategy to maintain good physical condition during athletic competition or training camps.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ejp-article-outline-heading\"
