For any sporting action to be completed muscle movement is inevitable. This movement of muscles is activated through electrical impulses which travel from the brain to muscle using the information-carrying pathway called the neuron. The impulse and muscle moment both depend on body minerals or electrolytes, mainly sodium, potassium, and calcium present in the form of charged particles or ions. The moment of sodium and potassium ions in and out of the neuron produced an impulse. And as this impulse reaches the muscles, calcium ions flood the muscle fibers, contracting them and completing the physical activity. These electrolytes in the body are lost by sweating leading to reduce performance and cramping. And that's why taking a break to consume water as well as sports drink or energy drink that is rich in electrolytes is crucial. Ensuring the sports person is replenished, refreshed, and ready for action. All those sports drinks and energy drinks are manufactured for sportspeople for their benefit.
