What is the recommended drink for athletes during practice and competition?
a. Sports drinks to replace carbohydrates
b. Cold water for gastrointestinal tract rapid absorption
c. Carbonated beverages to help with acid–base balance
d. Enhanced performance carbohydrate–electrolyte drinks
ANS: B
Water is recommended for most athletes, who should drink 4 to 8 oz every 15 to 20 minutes. Cold water facilitates rapid gastric emptying and intestinal absorption. Most carbohydrate sports drinks have 6% to 8% carbohydrate, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. Carbonated beverages are discouraged. There is no evidence that these drinks enhance function.
