Abstract

Exercise performance is influenced by numerous physiological factors, including hydration status, electrolyte balance, energy availability, and recovery processes. From the perspective of sport nutrition, the role of sports supplements in improving the performance of athletes cannot be denied. Sport drinks are also very popular among athletes; Therefore, these types of supplements can provide fluids, electrolytes, and carbohydrates, which are a source of energy, for the athlete. The application of these drinks is before, during and after training. In general, there are 3 types of sport drinks, including hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic. The effectiveness of sport drinks on performance and prevention of fatigue has been proven, especially in sports of more than 1.5 hours. As a result, sport performance improves and the athlete gets tired later. In addition, sport drinks play a role in increasing endurance, improving cognitive performance and maintaining blood glucose. This review examined the components of sport drinks and their effects on athletic performance, also evaluated current research findings that demonstrated their importance in sport nutrition.
