Sports drinks vs. water: the ultimate rehydration showdown after a sweaty workout
NCT ID NCT07468539
First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study tested how well two different sports drinks and plain water rehydrate the body after exercise in hot conditions. Seventeen active adults exercised in the heat, then drank one of the three beverages. Researchers measured how much fluid the body kept versus lost as urine, and also checked blood sugar levels. The goal was to see if drinks with carbohydrates and electrolytes help the body hold onto more water than plain water alone.
