?
What do most soft drinks contain?
Wate to replace water lost when sweating, sugar to replace sugar used for energy release in exercise and mineral ions to replace those lost in sweating.

What may become necessary if you exercise for a long time?
It may be necessary to replace the sugar, mineral ions and water which have been used or lost.

Help balance the concentration of body fluids and the concentrations inside cells.

Isotonic.

What evidence is there for the benefits of sports drinks?
Evidence is varied, some scientists think it is just as good to have a drink of water for short periods of exercise, however the drinks may help athletes who need to replace mineral ions and sugar as well as water.
