The recommended fluid/electrolyte intake during high-intensity events of one to three hours is 1200-1,600 ml water with NaCl and 6-8% carbohydrate/hour. This helps to replace fluid and electrolyte losses and provides energy for the muscles during exercise. Option A is not recommended because electrolytes are also lost during sweating and need to be replaced. Option B may be too high in concentration for some athletes and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
