Padel World Press .- Water is a vital element for human beings. In addition to constituting approximately 60-70% of our body, it is also a great vehicle that allows us to incorporate the necessary nutrients into our body ... For this reason, it is increasingly common that we find a greater number of sports drinks that provide, for example, sugars or carbohydrates. All of them favor energy production during exercise, something that benefits performance in a sport such as paddle tennis.
However, when choosing our sports drinks we must take into account both the type of physical activity that we are going to perform and the situation of the person who is going to carry it out. Having this clear, we will decide on one type or another of drink.
The usual thing is that sports drinks contain 100 calories per 500 ml, something that is easily absorbed and used. Now, if what we really want is to lose weight and our body is forced to use fats, the best option is to look for a low-calorie drink that does not give us that extra dose of carbohydrates.
If, on the other hand, the demand is very great and it is very difficult for us to maintain the level of intensity required, in these cases we should opt for sports drinks that are capable of incorporating a double or triple source of energy, with which the contribution can reach to overcome the 200 calories.
In addition to what we have just commented, it must be said that, in these drinks, you can also add a little protein (a small amount because if it would not slow down its absorption making it less efficient), in addition to increasing the energy intake, make that the muscle damage is less and, therefore, that the post-effort recovery is faster.
In all of them there is the option of adding small amounts of antioxidants and vitamins, especially in group B, those involved in the mechanisms of energy production.
Taking into account everything that we have mentioned in this post, without a doubt sports drinks are a good complement that we can incorporate into our nutrition routine, especially when carrying out sports activities, especially to face training and paddle tennis matches. in the best physical conditions ... And even more so if we remember that they are the most complete way to hydrate ourselves, especially in these hot summer months.
