Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if molecular hydrogen can reduce the metabolic response during graded exercise in healthy women aged 18-30 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does molecular hydrogen reduce the respiratory exchange ratio?
* Does molecular hydrogen reduce oxygen uptake?

Researchers will compare molecular hydrogen to a placebo (ambient air containing no molecular hydrogen) to see if molecular hydrogen reduces the metabolic response.

Participants will:

* Inhale molecular hydrogen for 60 minutes each day for 7 days.
* Undergo an exercise testing twice after a two-week washout period.
