Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseThis narrative review summarizes evidence on sports drinks and related functional beverages, with emphasis on hydration, gastric emptying and intestinal absorption, thermoregulation, biomarkers of hydration and recovery, and potential effects beyond hydration, including fatigue, muscle and organ damage, inflammation, and immune responses.4Suzuki K (2026)Sports Drinks for Rehydration, Amelioration of Fatigue, and Recovery from Exertion.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseBecause available studies vary widely in population, exercise mode, environmental conditions, beverage composition, intake timing, and outcome measures, the evidence should be interpreted cautiously.4Suzuki K (2026)Sports Drinks for Rehydration, Amelioration of Fatigue, and Recovery from Exertion.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseCurrent evidence supports the practical value of appropriate fluid, electrolyte, and carbohydrate intake for maintaining hydration and exercise performance, whereas evidence for broader effects on inflammation, immunodepression, organ protection, and recovery remains context-dependent.4Suzuki K (2026)Sports Drinks for Rehydration, Amelioration of Fatigue, and Recovery from Exertion.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseSports drinks have traditionally been formulated as carbohydrate-electrolyte beverages to support fluid replacement and energy provision during exercise.4Suzuki K (2026)Sports Drinks for Rehydration, Amelioration of Fatigue, and Recovery from Exertion.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseCalculated plasma volume (PV) increased to a greater extent with supplementation (p = 0.033).4Peterson R (2026)Post exercise hydration responses to an electrolyte, glycerol, and creatine supplement in horses: a preliminary study.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseThese preliminary findings suggest that an electrolyte supplement containing glycerol and creatine may augment post-exercise rehydration by promoting increased water intake, supporting PV expansion, and improving body mass recovery in moderately exercised horses.4Peterson R (2026)Post exercise hydration responses to an electrolyte, glycerol, and creatine supplement in horses: a preliminary study.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseHowever, limited data are available on formulations that include osmotically active compounds such as glycerol and creatine.4Peterson R (2026)Post exercise hydration responses to an electrolyte, glycerol, and creatine supplement in horses: a preliminary study.
Electrolytes Hydration ExerciseThese additional ingredients may enhance fluid retention, yet their physiologic effects in equine athletes have not been evaluated.4Peterson R (2026)Post exercise hydration responses to an electrolyte, glycerol, and creatine supplement in horses: a preliminary study.
