Isotonic Drinks

Isotonic drinks are used by endurance athletes to help them replace some of the water they lose by sweating both during and after an event. They are now also being marketed at the rest of us mere mortals – hinting at improved performances as we jog around the park. Isotonic drinks are often preferred to water by athletes because they contain a small amount of carbohydrate (less than 8%) and sodium. This carbohydrate content provides a small amount of extra energy – always helpful on a long run – but it’s the sodium that’s crucial.

When sodium is absorbed into the blood from the small intestine it takes water with it. This helps replace the sodium lost through sweating and also reduces the amount of water excreted from the body.

Dehydration can severely impair your sporting performance so drinking isotonic drinks that help to re-hydrate you more effectively than plain water can improve your performance.
