ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different types of drinks help with rehydration after exercise, especially when someone becomes dehydrated. It aims to compare a sports drink that is high in electrolytes (like sodium and potassium) with a drink that has fewer electrolytes but includes important trace minerals, as well as plain water. The goal is to see which option helps people rehydrate better after physical activity.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be recreationally active, exercising more than twice a week but not exceeding six hours total. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9 and have maintained a stable weight for the past two months. However, certain individuals, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with specific health conditions, or anyone currently participating in another study, are not allowed to join. If you participate, you can expect to drink one of the assigned beverages after exercise and help researchers understand how well each drink works for rehydration.
