A YouTube video (by Darrian Peck) summarizes a study published in the Journal of Experimental Gerontology in November 2021 that tested hydrogen-rich water soaking versus the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compress, elevate) for ankle injuries in primarily young athletes. The speaker reports that hydrogen soaking improved outcomes by preserving microvascular blood flow and not causing vasoconstriction, thereby aiding removal of inflammatory factors and promoting perfusion.
