Oral Rehydration for Sports Use
Oral rehydration for sports use applies glucose-sodium solutions for real fluid deficits after heavy sweat—not after every short easy jog.
Oral rehydration for sports use adapts WHO-style glucose-and-sodium solutions for heavy sweat losses—roughly 45 to 75 mmol sodium per liter with modest carbohydrate—for faster fluid absorption than water alone when dehydration is real. Commercial sports drinks vary widely; homemade mixes need careful measuring to avoid gut upset or dilution risk.
Use when weigh-ins show meaningful deficit, not after every thirty-minute jog.
Common questions
-
Are sports drinks the same as ORS?
Many are lighter on sodium than clinical ORS. Read labels; heavy sweaters may need higher sodium than casual gym drinks provide.
