Make Your Own Sports Drink

There are three types. Select the ones that best suits your fitness level.

Isotonic - For the average athlete, mix 200 mL of frozen orange juice concentrate with one liter of water and a pinch of salt.

Hypotonic - For athlete with low perspiration levels such as jockeys and gymnasts, follow the same recipe but only use 100 mL of concentrate.

Hypertonic - For athletes such as long-distance runners who require extra carbohydrates and electrolytes should follow the same recipe but increase the orange juice concentrate to 400 mL.
