Electrolytes important for the functioning of many vital processes in the body include magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride and phosphate.
WHAT’S HOT!3. What type of carbohydrate is most likely in
the sports drink to provide quick energy?http://health.ninemsn.com.au/dietandnutrition/nutrition/693802/sports-drinks-the-real-facts
Sacrose, fruitose – sugar It is well known that consuming carbohydrate
can have performance benefits in a range of sporting events. Carbohydrate provides a fuel source for muscles and the brain, and contributes to the palatability of sports drinks. Ideally the carbohydrate concentration of a sports drink should not exceed 8%, or even be slightly less.
WHAT’S HOT!4. Electrolyte drinks now come in many
flavours. If some orange juice were to be included in the drink, how would it change the nutrient composition of the sport’s drink?

It would increase the intake of kilojoules, carbohydrates, potassium and vitamin C
WHAT’S HOT!5. Suggest a health risk associated with high intake of
sodium?http://health.ninemsn.com.au/dietandnutrition/nutrition/693802/sports-drinks-the-real-facts
The sodium in sports drinks plays a valuable role in improving fluid absorption and the desire to drink. Sodium can also play a role in replacing the large salt losses that can occur in long events (e.g. ironman triathlons) or for salty sweaters. Sports drinks have a similar sodium content to foods such as milk, bread and breakfast cereal, but are much better tolerated during exercise.
You should always experiment with sports drinks in training before using them in competition. Not drinking enough sports drink, or drinking a lot in a short period of time, can cause gastrointestinal upset. Drink small amounts frequently to minimise problems.
WHAT’S HOT!6. Why is water essential when undertaking
sport?http://www.sportsdietitians.com.au/resources/upload/file/Sports%20Drinks.pdf
Water – voluntary fluid intake is less when drinking water compared to flavoured drinks. Water is suitable for low intensity or short duration (less than 45 mins) exercise, or in addition to sports drinks.
