For non-athletes, prioritize water over sports drinks for healthy behavior. Sports drinks need clearer labeling and warnings, with more research needed for definitive health guidance.
Area of Science:
- Nutrition Science
- Behavioral Science
Background:
- Systematic review on sports drinks and healthy behavior.
- Investigated relationship using PRISMA and PICOS criteria.
Approach:
- Screened ~1000 records from Web of Science.
- Reduced to 15 relevant articles for analysis.
Key Points:
- Water is optimal for non-athletes.
- Sports drinks require labeling for water intake and warnings.
- Further randomized trials are essential.
Conclusions:
- Emphasize water for general population hydration.
- Sports drink marketing and health claims need scrutiny.
- Evidence base requires strengthening through clinical trials.
