How to Choose the Right Sport Drinks for Workouts
Sport drinks are produced by numerous companies and are widely available at every kind of retail store from supermarkets to healthfood stores to health clubs and gyms. Sometimes the vast selection of different kinds of sports beverage choices on the market makes it tough for the average person to know which sport drink is right for them and for their needs. One thing to look for in a sports drink mix is the concentration of carbohydrates in the formulation of the drink. Repeated studies have shown that the optimal level of carbs in a sports drink is no less than six percent and no more than eight percent. At this range of concentration, the athlete will experience rapid fluid replacement, avoidance of dehydration, and overall improved performance.
