Sports drinks provide fluid, carbohydrates and electrolytes. They are always appropriate for exercise lasting more than 60 minutes. Our muscles need carbohydrate for energy and the brain needs glucose energy to think. We can store carbohydrate in our muscle tissue and liver and we have some available for use in our blood. However, we can use up our carbohydrate stores during a game and feel fatigued and unable to think clearly.
Because sports drinks contain electrolytes-they help optimize hydration. Sports drinks are fomulated from a mix of three carbohydrate sources to deliver energy to your muscles and to deliver it quickly!
