a. produce large volumes of sweat.
b. exercise for longer than 90 minutes.
c. experience hunger during workouts.
d. exercise daily for at least 30 minutes.

Sports drinks may be beneficial for athletes who exercise for longer than 90 minutes, because they provide some carbohydrates and electrolytes. Otherwise, fluid replacement is the main priority and water is just as beneficial as sports drinks. With shorter bouts of exercise, normal food intake replaces nutrient losses.
