Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since John is inclined to sweat heavily and has experienced heat cramps in the past, he needs a high sodium commercial sports drink that can help replace the sodium lost in his sweat. A standard commercial sports drink may not adequately replace the lost sodium, and vitamin-enhanced water is not designed for proper hydration and electrolyte replacement during intense physical activity. Therefore, option C, a high sodium commercial sports drink, would be the best choice for John during the five-hour cycling race.
