Q. I drink water throughout my gym sessions, isn’t water enough? Why should I use an isotonic drink – I’m not an athlete?!
A. Isotonic drinks contain carbohydrates to help you to stay energised whilst also helping to keep you hydrated by replacing fluid and precious electrolytes (salts) which are lost through sweat; helping you to avoid the negative effects of dehydration during and after exercise. Even moderate intensity exercise will create sweat resulting in a loss of electrolytes and energy. An isotonic drink has a similar carbohydrate and electrolyte concentration to your body, meaning that your body will absorb them faster than water alone.
Q. What are the benefits of an isotonic drink in comparison to hypotonic or hypertonic sports drinks?
A. A key difference between these types of drinks is the osmolality level which is the level at which a fluid is absorbed. An osmolality level of 270-330 Mosm/kg in an isotonic drink helps to maintain the required concentration of electrolytes (salts) in your blood. Water alone has a very low osmolality level as it typically does not contain electrolytes. Isotonic sports drinks replace fluids and electrolytes whilst providing energy from carbohydrates - ideal for endurance sports, cardiovascular workouts and team sports. Hypotonic sports drinks quickly replace fluids lost from sweating but have a low level of carbohydrates which some athletes such as gymnasts may prefer. Hypertonic sports drinks are very high in carbohydrates and are normally taken after exercise to top up muscle glycogen stores e.g. after ultra distance running events.
