most sports drinks are isotonic in relation to human body fluids explain why athletes should drink solutions that areisotonic to body fluids when they exercise rather than ones that are hypoyonicto body fluids?

Question

wach · Answer

I believe the answer is because hypertonic or highly concentrated drinks would cause a great loss in bodily fluids / water to create equilibrium (more urination). Since sports requires lots of water it must be conserved, and isotonic fluids shouldn't dehydrate.
