Isotonic and sports drinks

WHAT ARE ISOTONIC DRINKS?

Isotonic drinks are drinks with which you can get an extra dose of hydration during your workouts. Normally, they contain in their composition low doses of sodium in the form of sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate, sugar or glucose, they also contain potassium and different types of minerals.

IN WHICH SPORTS IS IT RECOMMENDED TO TAKE AN ISOTONIC DRINK?

Isotonic drinks are recommended in cases of athletes who face a competition or prolonged and high intensity training, as well as training in unfavorable weather conditions, if this is not the case it is advisable to hydrate only with water.

On the other hand, energy drinks contain ingredients such as caffeine, taurine or guarana , and are designed to be taken before or during exercise, to optimize your performance during workouts and delay the onset of fatigue thanks to extra energy. .

It is recommended to drink this type of drink in endurance sports, in which the body undergoes a prolonged effort and needs to quickly replenish glycogen stores to create energy.

Protein-containing drinks are recommended to be taken after exercise, regardless of the sport I practice, as they help muscles to recover more quickly and promote muscle development.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENERGY DRINKS AND ISOTONIC DRINKS?

Isotonic drinks are key to guaranteeing the correct hydration of endurance athletes during long training sessions.

Contrary to what many may think, isotonic drinks are not the same as energy drinks, and it is that, although they indirectly provide us with energy, their main function is to guarantee hydration by providing mineral salts and electrolytes, that counteract the loss of these that we suffer when we sweat.
