I see this is our drink sponsor for the season. Do these things help or hinder a modern sportsperson? And what the heck do electrolytes have to do with anything.
I understand replacing lost fluids with water works so is this just an overpriced gimmick ?

Ribena mixed with a bit of salt would probably do the same job.

I’m not sure if our fans should be encouraged to drink isotonic drinks though. I’d stick to water or Docks Beers.

Man has survived the brisk 20 minute along Grimsby Rd for the past 130 years on a combination of haddock, water, tea and ale. No need for dubiously branded, Thai energy drinks.

Nerd klaxon.....

When you sweat you don't just sweat liquid, you lose minerals that are essential to the smooth running of your body as a system (it's why sweat tastes salty) and they are collectively known as electrolytes. So a good 'sports drink' will replace liquid and electrolytes.

Very good breakdown.

The average guy/girl in the street won't feel the benefit of a good sports drink, a prime athlete will definitely feel the benefit of a good sports drink as part of wider good to outstanding nutrition and hydration.  

If you're asking if Carabao Sport is a good sports drink I would probably say no.  It's full of a lot of excrement, see below, but a professional athlete will do enough to more or less counter that excrement.  The average consumer won't.  Knut jokes (I think) that it's not much better than Ribena with a pinch of salt, he's not far wrong.  

Sports Science is great. But my god there's some absolute excrement that's flooded the market in the last 10 or so years with the marketing appeal that it makes you like the elites, this is just another example of such.

TL;DR - It's excrement, save your money.

Spring Water, Dextrose Monohydrate, Fructose, Citric Acid, Acidity Regulator (Sodium Citrate), Flavourings, Stabilisers (Acacia Gum, Glycerol Esters of Wood Rosins), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), Vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B12), Colour (Beta Carotene), Dimethyl decarbonate.

At £2 per litre its a million times more expensive than water with this cr@p inside Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Citric Acid, Taurine (0.3%), Flavourings, Aspartame, Stevia (Sweeteners), Caffeine (0.032%), Inositol, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Riboflavin, Caramel (Colour), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative).

Better use it as a paint stripper.
