Sport drinks

In this section sports drinks are defined, the bodily need for them is discussed and aspects of their formulation are considered. [Pg.352]


Ephedra is used in diet products as an appetite depressant and stimulant, and in sports drinks to mask fatigue. It is also used as a bronchial stimulator, and to relieve symptoms of the common cold. [Pg.160]

Sports drinks provide water to the body in the form of an isotonic solution (one having the same total molar concentration of solutes as human blood). These drinks contain electrolytes such as NaCI and KCI as well as sugar and... [Pg.473]

Why are isotonic drinks useful Osmotic pressure in living systems is incredibly important yet how often is the topic dismissed or merely discussed as a means to measure molecular weight of polymers Why not consider polymers as biological macromolecules and add to the discussion that a balance of osmotic pressure keeps our cells from bursting - which goes back to why the isotonic sport drinks are useful Relevance in the examples used in our courses is possible. [Pg.21]

Sports drinks are the largest segment in the markets covered by this report. [Pg.301]

Sweat is not just water but a dilute solution of electrolytes, mainly sodium and chloride. The actual composition varies from individual to individual and within individuals, according to circumstances. Typical values are shown in Table 13.6, from which it can be seen that sweat is considerably less concentrated than plasma. Hence sweating causes an increase in plasma electrolyte concentrations. Only in events of long duration (more than 3 h) is it considered essential to replace lost sodium during the event to guard against hyponatraemia (low plasma sodium concentration) (Gisolfi and Duchman, 1992). However, sports drinks conventionally contain added sodium, chloride and other electrolytes at levels similar to those found in sweat. [Pg.354]

Sports drinks are complex solutions of non-ionic and ionic substances the latter will be dissociated to varying extents according to their nature and the other solutes present. Their osmolality cannot therefore be precisely calculated theoretical estimates must be checked by measurement and then- compositions must be fine-tuned to achieve the target value. [Pg.357]

It is necessary to undertake a series of adjustments to achieve the target composition. If the osmolality has to be increased by replacing maltodextrin with monosaccharides then additional salts will be required to maintain electrolyte levels these in turn will increase the osmolality and require a further reduction in maltodextrin. Table 13.7 indicates how the components of a typical isotonic sports drink contribute to its osmolality. [Pg.358]

Anyone who must take diuretics for therapeutic purposes should take the proper precautions when exercising. This includes adequate and regular intake of water, sports drinks, or other non-caffeinated fluids loose and comfortable clothing adequate rest periods and awareness of the signs of heat exhaustion (clammy and cool skin, fatigue, nausea, weakness, confusion, vision disturbances, and a possible loss of consciousness). [Pg.176]

GHB is usually sold by the capful, or swig, for 5 to 25. It is generally found in liquid form, but may be found in a highly soluble powder form. Either way, it is typically added to a liquid such as water, sports drinks like Gatorade, or soft drinks. Mixing the drug with a sweetened drink can mask GHB s salty taste. GHB is also mixed into an alcoholic drink, which enhances its effects but increases the potential for adverse reaction, particularly respiratory distress. The use of alcohol is typical if date rape is intended, as the victim is usually unaware that GHB has been added to the drink. [Pg.215]

GHB is produced in either a liquid form or as a white powdered material. It is taken orally, typically combined with a liquid mixer such as a soft drink, water, or sports drink. It is sometimes mixed with alcohol. It may be sold in small vials at club parties. [Pg.218]
