Original title: Water is better for young athletes than sports drinks
Sports experts point out that water is actually more suitable for young athletes than sports drinks.
Dr. Matthew Silvis, director of primary care sports medicine at Pennsylvania Health Medical Center, believes that some sustained or intense exercise requires additional sugar and salty exercise drinks in the body, but most young people don't exercise to that extent, according to the Associated Press.
" sports drinks can supplement some of the ingredients you lose in your exercise, but you must exercise for more than 45 minutes to an hour before you need to consider drinking, and many children don't exercise enough, he said. In addition, Sylveth and his colleagues note that giving children exercise drinks with extra sugars increases the risk of obesity and tooth decay.
Gloyer, a primary care sports physician at Penn State Penn State's Payne Medical Association, agrees, noting that children and adolescents really shouldn't use these sports drinks, and that water is the best option. She recommends that energy drinks containing caffeine or other stimulants are bad for children's health, and that they can also raise blood pressure and cause symptoms such as palpitations and arrhythmics, headaches and stomach upsets.
experts also point out that some children can also cause restlessness or nervousness after drinking sports drinks. To do this, coaches and parents should provide water to their children and ensure that they have plenty of water during exercise.
children exercise for 30 or 45 minutes and should rest and drink at half-time, suggests Mr. Silves. Drinking a little whole or low-fat chocolate milk after exercise is also a good option: "Chocolate milk is the perfect combination of fat, protein and carbohydrate to get your fitness back up as quickly as possible," he says.
