    The concentration of sugars in two well-known sports drinks, Powerade and Gatorade, were determined by monitoring an enzyme-catalysed reaction sequence involving the appearance of NADPH. Sucrose and glucose concentrations were calculated from the concentration of NADPH formed by the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+. Spectrophotometric absorbance readings were taken at 340nm, this is because NADPH absorbs strongly at this wavelength, whilst NADP+ does not (1015MSC, 2010). The concentration of glucose and sucrose in Powerade was found to be 0.43g/100mL and 7.36g/100mL, whereas the concentration of glucose and sucrose in Gatorade was found to be 0.94g/100mL and 7.09g/100mL respectively.…

    Robert Cade from the University of Florida in 1965. He had discovered that the athletes of a losing team were weak because of two main things that were not being replaced because of sweat, electrolytes and fluids. (Note 1.) Electrolytes help your brain control your muscles and body fluids, and when the main electrolytes are lost with the sweat, it delays communication. (Note 2) In a Gatorade Thirst Quencher there is 160 mg Sodium/ 45 mg Potassium to replace the sodium and potassium that has been lost. It also contains 21g of carbs, with 80 calories. (Note 7) When doing any type of physical activity, it is important to make sure that you are hydrated. You want to avoid nausea, fatigueness, dizziness, etc. (Note…

    Forty-five years have passed since the creation of this ultimate athletic drink, and Gatorade still continues to flourish. The product itself has a legendary story behind it. Many say that the University of Florida first noticed that all of their athletes could not perform to their highest skill level due to dehydration. Both professors and coaches decided to come together and find a solution to this problem. After multiple trial and error labs were performed, they finally broke through with an unbelievable item. They found something that would do more than just replenish fluids. It supplied the body with a plentiful amount of electrolytes, a task that water cannot complete (Gatorade History). With electrolytes, this beverage provided the Florida Gator football players with both energy and awareness to perform at their peak. This break-through proves to be one of the largest in sports technology today.…

    Millions of people drink sports drinks like Gatorade everyday, But very few people actually know what ingredients make up their favorite sports drink.

They created a concoction they deemed “Gatorade”, named after the team of course. The beverage set out to replenish not only the fluids they lost on the field but the carbohydrates and electrolytes. After they instituted this drink the team began out doing their opponents in the heat and ended the season 7-3, But the question here is not “Does gatorade work?”…

    Gatorade and Powerade are both sports drinks and they have no daily recommendation. They are designed for “critical fuel during relatively intense (more than 60% of maximal effort) exercise bouts lasting more than 1 hour. “ (Cherif, et al., 2010, p. 299) Both Gatorade and Powerade have no evidence of providing a benefit to those who are not exercising. In fact the only affect they seem to have on an un-athletic person is weight gain. (p. 301)…

Water has no carbohydrates unlike most sports drinks, however sports drinks contain sugar with makes more difficult for the carbohydrates to enter the bloodstream.

    Since the creation of Gatorade in 1987 sports drinks have become a staple of American athletics. Every major sports league, including the NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL and NASCAR, are sponsored by and use of Gatorade Thirst Quencher. All Sport and Powerade, two other smaller market sports drinks, have limited sponsorships of smaller sports leagues including the NCAA.
