| Answer: The following website may help to answer your
question: http://recipestoday.com/resources/articles/highenergy.htm Young people who participate in athletics need to sustain hydration before, during and after participation and certainly water is the simplest choice - but there are others such as gatorade and powerade that are possible replacements/additions for water. Drinks like gatorade may have an added advantage because they taste better than plain water and players will drink more. Frequently kids don't drink enough water to remain hydrated but will drink more gatorade. As for the high energy drinks, I would follow the guidance provided in the attached website, avoid the high energy stuff and stick with water or gatorade for hydration. |
