abstract = {(1) Background: Trainers and athletes have always sought to reduce the failure of muscle
function during long endurance events. However, nowadays, it is a topic that is generating much
debate in the scientific field. Currently, deep-sea water (DSW) intake seems to be a suitable hydration
alternative for this type of endurance event. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine
whether DSW consumption during a triathlon event could preserve muscle function after exercise.
(2) Methods: Nineteen trained male triathletes (age = 39.0 ± 4.25 years; BMI = 23.67 ± 1.81 kg/m2)
randomly performed three triathlons, one of them consuming DSW (Totum SPORT 30 AB, Laboratories
Quinton International, S.L., Spain), the other consuming isotonic placebo and the last with tap
water-hydration. A vertical jump test with countermovement and an isometric muscle strength test
were conducted before and after the triathlon test. (3) Results: There was a significant difference
between treatment × time during the isometric muscle strength test. Based on the Tukey post hoc
analysis, the peak net force decreased statistically in the placebo (p = 0.045) and control conditions
(p = 0.026), but not in the experimental condition (p = 0.121). In addition, all of the conditions studied
obtained similar results in the countermovement vertical jump after exercise. (4) Conclusions: As a
result, consumption of DSW seems to delay the failure of muscle function specifically in isometric
exercises but does not improve performance in sports. Thus, DSW does not alter muscle capacity in a
negative way; therefore, its consumption may be recommended.},
