Before exercise
It is recommended to drink approximately 200–300 ml of isotonic drink about 30 minutes before starting exercise. This helps pre-hydrate you and prepare your body for physical activity.
During exercise
During exercise, it is important to take regular sips of the isotonic drink to maintain adequate hydration and replenish electrolytes lost through sweat. The amount you should drink will depend on the duration and intensity of the exercise, as well as the weather conditions.
Frequency of consumption
To maintain an adequate balance of fluids and electrolytes, it is recommended to take small sips of the isotonic drink every 15–20 minutes during exercise. This helps prevent dehydration and maintain optimal physical performance.
Do not overconsume
Although it is important to stay hydrated, it is important not to overconsume isotonic drinks, as they may contain additional calories and sugars. Drinking too much can lead to excessive calorie intake and digestive problems during exercise.
After exercise
After completing exercise, it is recommended to continue hydrating and replenishing lost electrolytes. You can choose to continue drinking the isotonic drink or alternate it with water and other hydrating drinks. It is also important to consume nutrient-rich foods to support muscle recovery.
Listen to your body
Everyone is different, so it is important to listen to your body and adjust your isotonic drink intake according to your individual needs. If you feel thirsty, fatigued or experience muscle cramps during exercise, you may need to increase your intake of fluids and electrolytes.
