Research Output: Contribution to journal Article Peer-review

Open access

Abstract

Loss of fluid and energy stores are key challenges faced during sport and exercise. Consumption of beverages containing optimal concentrations of fluid, energy and electrolytes are known to offer the best means of delivering fuel and energy to the body during exercise, with palatability a key factor in determining volitional fluid consumption. In certain cases, where weight loss is a primary goal for exercise, a low energy level in a beverage is of increased importance. Hence many manufacturers use low calorie sweeteners within a sports beverage to ensure that the product retains optimal scientific constituents, calorific content and palatability
