Uncovering the Science Behind the Advanced Hydration System

Add to Calendar

1:00 PM - 1:50 PM CDT

If you’re going to NSCA this year, be sure to attend our exclusive education session.

This presentation explores the science behind hydration and when water alone may not suffice. Our speakers will examine the key physiological mechanisms — including the role of carbohydrate and electrolytes like sodium — that enable faster fluid absorption and retention in the body. The session will then guide you through real-world scenarios and athlete profiles to help you select the right sports drink formulation based on your athletes’ needs, whether they are seeking a lower-sugar option for weight management, enhanced electrolyte concentration for extreme conditions, glycerol-enhanced products, or performance-boosted solutions for high-intensity training. By understanding the science behind and application of each product variant, you'll be equipped to optimize your athletes’ hydration strategy for peak performance and recovery.

Speakers:
Kris Osterberg, PhD, RD, CSSD | Gatorade Sports Science Institute | Principal Scientist
Christina Chu, MS, RD, CSSD | Sports Dietitian Consultant
