When you drink sport drinks yourself and most people in the world don’t know that exactly sport drinks do to your body. So, I did research over 3 articles to see what sport drinks would do to your body and the biological features that was involved so the articles I used was first it was by the magazine consumer (Sport drinks), secondly, I looked at Behind the hype: Sport drinks by health promotion agency and lastly, I looked at a New Zealand Herald article the truth about sport drinks by Alberto Dolci. Firstly, I looked at the Behind the hype: Sport drinks article by Health promotion agency(HPA) and this article is trustworthy since the HPA is a government owned agency which should always be stating the truth and if it’s owned by a government …show more content…
Sport drinks usually contain water, sugar (there are sugar-free drinks), sodium, potassium, artificial colours and flavours. Which states that it is a good source of electrolytes. But why is this an issue? It is because some sport drinks can be too much sugar. Depending on the brand or the type of the drink, some contain up to 22.4 grams of sugar per 250ml and sport drinks are usually in large sized bottles. For example, a 750mL bottle of sports drink may contain 67 grams (16 teaspoons) of sugar. Which clearly tells us that is way too much sugar for a normal person to take in a short period of time, even though people exercise while drinking sport drinks most of the time people do not exercise enough to burn the energy in one sports drink. I think this article is biased because most of the statements in the article was about why sport drinks are not good enough for sports or exercises and it should be trustworthy as it is a government owned agency which should do a lot of tests throughout the …show more content…
This magazine is trustworthy because whenever they write an article about judging something they always go through tests and tests in their labs which tells us that they are trustworthy and accurate with their data. In their article, it states that Powerade Mountain Blast has 209mg of Sodium (9percent of an adult’s maximum recommended daily intake) per 750ml bottle. Loaded Desert Storm has 433 mg of sodium (18% of an adult’s maximum recommended daily intake) per litre bottle. It clearly shows the amount of sodium inside a sport drink is a big amount and not very good for our body and if that is too much for an adult it will be way too much for a child to have. Also, it states that they are against the proposal to allow electrolyte drinks to carry health claims. These claims may be relevant to people taking part in active exercises. Which clearly states about how much they’re against sport drinks so this article is a biased article because it is against sport drinks carrying out health claims and it states about how there are too much sugar in the sport
In the article, “Random Drug Testing of Athletes”, the author, Darla Tappins, argues that student athletes should not be required to participate in random drug tests. She provides six main reasons in effort to support her claim. These include the unfair stereotyping towards athletes who are no more likely to be involved in drug use than nonathletes, the unreliability and inaccuracy of the drug tests, the high costs of performing such tests, the unnecessary time consumption they require, the uncomfortability of those required to partake in them, as well as the inability of tests to detect steroid use, which is the most common drug exploited by athletes. Overall, the author does an ineffective job of proving her claim and evaluating
... Although, for the majority of people, who exercise, are doing it to lose weight and so drinking sports drinks, would cause the same effect as not completing the workout at all. (Nutritionwonderland.com, 2014) Sports physiologist Dr. Greg Wells says “Eighty-five per cent of Canadians don’t get enough exercise to begin with, so they don’t need sports drinks. The remaining 15 percent that actually does exercise, you probably have one or two per cent exercising really hard, really intensely enough to really need those sports drinks.

After PDB acquired Crescent Pure in July of 2013, its management team was faced with a decision when discussing how the product was to be marketed -- some felt that the drink’s energizing ingredients would make it a better fit as an energy drink, while others felt that its hydrating elements would make it a better fit as a sports drink (Quelch, Zalsoh 2014). Crescent Pure was founded in 2008, as founder Peter Hooper wanted “a drink that would refresh, energize and enhance mental focus” (pg 2). However, Crescent Pure will be PDB’s first entry in the U.S., sports and/or energy beverage markets; therefore, in discussing the
Gatorade sponsors many different franchises, players and associations, so its advertisements are always seen by many, so when they promote that their drinks are better than water for athletes during games and matches; one has to wonder if it actually is? Most of the time when something so big is advertised in TV commer...
Is it in you? Have you ever wondered if Gatorade really gives you a competitive edge over H2O (water) in an athletic event or while training? I’ve seen countless commercials and have always pondered the thought; can this sports drink really give you the edge you need? I mean, professional athletes from Michel Jordan to Tiger Woods have endorsed this drink and given it the reputation is has today. I myself was a believer that water was better than Gatorade until I wrote this paper. Now I believe that Gatorade has far more nutritional value than water, because it provides essential minerals, carbohydrates and electrolytes.

This time she wants to learn how it affects your appetite. To do this she and Dr. Jason Gill from the University of Glasgow study this on two teams of netball players. During the halftime of their game Dr. Jason gives the red team a red currant juice full of sugar and the blue team the same drink but without sugar. After the game finishes the two teams are offered two separated buffets filled with sandwiches and sweets and tell both teams to eat as much as wanted. Once the teams go outside, the narrator and Dr. Jason Gill count up the calories consumed. As it turns out, the red team, or the team with the sugary drink ended up consuming over 1000 calories more than the blue team. This happens because the sugary drinks are full of empty calories that don’t satisfy your hunger vs the non sweet drink that when drunken, your body can process that there were calories consumed. This causes the person consuming the sugary drink to feel unsatisfied and hungry even after consuming those

Energy drinks are thought to help enhance performance, boost mental alertness, improve endurance and energy, decrease fatigue, enhance metabolism, and improve overall performance. Energy drinks are also used because of short term health benefits, taste, energy boost, improved performance, and to justify or improve poor dietary habits (Rath). But, drinking energy drinks come with so much more along with a list of health problems and possibly
...In summation energy drinks can be good for a quick boost of energy. And over the years they have become increasingly popular. Many people should become more aware of the benefits and downfalls to drinking energy drinks. They should never down one before strenuous exercise or drink numerous amounts at a time. Energy drinks should never be mixed with alcohol due to the dangerous side affects that can occur. Energy drinks affect all people differently, but consumers should be more aware before drinking these products.
Have you ever wondered if buying a gatorade before a game is worth the price or would water just be fine? I have often wondered if getting a gatorade would be worth the money or if just getting water would be fine. I play sports almost every season and always have to decide wether to get a gatorade or just drink the water they gives. I am so think that what makes the gatorade worth buying, is it just for the taste or does it have something that actually helps. I believe that learning more about electrolytes and hydration would be useful to explain which drink would be for me as an athlete during a game.
