Hydration and energy in one

A sports drink such as the Named Sport energy drinks provides fluid, carbohydrates and minerals in one. On long rides, it replaces the sodium lost through sweat and eases the load on your stomach, because part of the energy is taken in as liquid. This is particularly important in the heat, because your body then loses more salt.

The right concentration depends on the weather. On hot days, you can mix the drink more diluted so that more fluid gets through; on cool days, a little more concentrated.

Tip: Always test new drinks in training, not in a race. If you are not used to a high concentration, you can easily get stomach problems.
