topicElectrolyte Exercise Hydration Randomized Trial
claimEven when considered from the perspective of peri-exercise fluid ingestion, sports drinks can be broadly defined as beverages specifically formulated to ameliorate dehydration, fatigue, and exercise-associated physiological disturbances, while maintaining or improving performance or accelerating recovery through fluid replacement, electrolyte replenishment, and/or substrate provision.
