Purpose The purpose of this project is to test common sports drinks for their electrolyte content and compare the results to the electrolyte content in common fruit juices. Hypothesis If fruit juices were to be compared to sports drinks for electrolyte content, then orange juice would contain the most electrolytes. Materials orange juice sports drink (Gatorade, PowerAde, Generic sports drink)
There has been a discussion on whether sports drinks are better than water at replenishing lost electrolytes and fluids while exercising . You always hear in infomercials and magazines on how you have to drink plenty of water in order to continue to do exercise or a sport . Water only keeps you hydrated and replaces the water lost while sweating . Sports drinks on the other hand replace lost electrolytes , quench thirst , keep you hydrated and give you extra energy to help you continue exercising . Sports drinks are a better source of energy and a better way to replace lost fluids .
Unless one exercises for a period of time exceeding four hours, electrolyte losses won’t be high enough to affect health or performance and can instead be simply replaced through everyday meals (Smolin). Sports drinks aren’t required in order to have a proper workout, but if for those still searching to replace electrolytes or who are working out for extended periods of time, there are many other, healthier

The energy drink increased running pace (Ps conclusions are that the ingestion of 3 mg/kg of caffeine using an energy drink increased the speed of the players and movement patterns during the rugby games. Also, the energy drink had an insignificant side-effect that shows the energy drink was not a health risk to the players, at least with the dosage used in this investigation (Coso et al.,
Purpose and Hypothesis The purpose of this lab is to compare the 2 leading energy drink brands to see which drink gives better endurance. Electrolytes help carry energy necessary for many functions. If having more electrolytes increases endurance of participant, then Gatorade is most likely to give more endurance as it has more electrolytes than Powerade.
Everyday athletes around the world are striving to get better. Doing everything in their power to be more effective than the next guy. Athletes day in and day out put in hours of hard work to obtain the skill set needed to take their game to the next level. Not only do they put in the physical effort but they also incorporate nutritional diets that complements their hard work. But to this day there is not a single food or drink out in the market available for the public that maximizes every aspect of a persons output.
ELECTRIC ENERGY DRINKS Teya Rampaul Grade 9H INTRODUCTION Energy drinks give us a quick burst of energy when we are feeling tired but which one gives us the most amount of energy? To find out which energy drink would give us the most I am going to test which energy drink has the highest voltage. One of the people I interviewed said that they would like to know which energy drink has the highest voltage. Another person that I questioned said that he doubted energy drinks had any voltage at all.
