Sorry, for sounding snide, but having been in sport during the first generation of Gatoraid and Quick Kick, when the electrolyte drinks were invented to prevent the mineral and fluid loss that led to serious heat prostration and were proven to do so both by independent research and “clinical experience” use on sidelines world wide; now 50+ years later I have to wonder why anyone doubted their effectiveness enough to need to do yet another study to “further prove” their effectiveness. Human physiology hasn’t changed since 1968.
