i was curious too. me personally if im doing heavy activity i feel sick if i drink something sugary, i want water to quench my thirst and plenty of it. heres what i found:
"The American College of Sports Medicine says that during exercise lasting less than one hour there's little evidence of any difference in performance between exercisers who drink beverages containing carbohydrates and electrolytes, and those who drink plain water.
And, according to Clark, someone exercising 1.5 hours in a cool environment (who is probably not sweating much) is more in need of fluids or water than electrolytes. "
