Thread starter Hollytigs; Start date Aug 31, ; H. Hollytigs Mouseketeer. I appreciate your honesty! Coke's Powerade falls in a distant second, with a More boys claimed to drink sports drinks during physical activity Report Save. Joined Mar 22, Lucozade Sport provides carbohydrates and electrolytes to enhance hydration and help maintain performance during prolonged endurance exercise. So this is a vote for Lucozade.
Powerade vs Gatorade vs water — which is better? The key behind the rise in consumption of sports drinks lies in the coupling of science with marketing. Gatorade original will rehydrate you faster. Clear Search. Yeah, they surely haven't seen Reality tv show advertisement. These are two of the most popular sport drinks. Well I've summarised the best way to approach combining your hydration and nutrition plans in this blog - any questions, drop us an email and we'd be glad to help.
In , we also added the Precision Fuel 30 drink mix to the range. The drink mix delivers the critical trifecta of carbs 30g per ml , fluids and electrolytes mg per ml, 1,mg per litre. It delivers a steady stream of rapidly digestible energy along with fluid and a significant level of sodium to combat dehydration and any electrolyte losses.
There's a lot of research out there pointing to the fact that having some glucose and plenty of sodium in a drink can facilitate faster absorption of the fluids. This is because as well as via osmosis a passive process , water can be moved across the wall of the small intestine along with sodium and glucose via a method called active transport. Active transport is best thought of as a 2nd, separate 'doorway' from the gut into the bloodstream which can only be accessed with the right key, that being the right combination of sodium and glucose.
This is in fact the basis on which ORS Oral Rehydration Salts - used to treat very dehydrated people in a medical setting - are formulated, with great success. This is, of course, in addition to the fact that the sodium ends up replacing that which is lost in sweat during prolonged exercise, so it's something of a double win at times when sweat losses are very high.
An expert in hydration, he has co-authored a number of scientific studies and books. It was his own struggles with cramp that led to him specialising in hydration and founding Precision Hydration. But like any nutrition or hydration strategy, you need to test it out in training. If you've swanned around the gym for 20 minutes, forget it. If, however, you've done a tough session and will probably be doing another one within the next 48 hours, you'll definitely benefit from taking extra carbohydrate on board within the first hour.
Proprietary 'recovery' sports drinks typically tick both the carb and protein boxes, but research from Northumbria University found chocolate milk to be highly effective in facilitating recovery. Tidemarks on clothes are an indication of a 'salty sweater'.
But, says Morgan, this alone is not reason to take extra salt on board. If you sweat profusely and are a salty sweater there may be need for extra salt, but you would probably be suffering from cramping or extreme fatigue if this were the case. Mix ml ordinary squash or ml high juice squash not sugar-free or low calorie with ml cold water, or mix ml standard Ribena with ml cold water.

And what about Lucozade? Sadly, it seems to be just the same thing: sugar water. For the brand, the solutions seemed clear, just remove the sugar, right? Sales of the sports drink plummeted after Lucozade cut its sugar content to meet new UK guideline s.
Seems that consumers might have been buying it as a soft drink, not a sports drink. The study claims to be the first scientific look at 21 popular sugary drinks that make health claims.
