Because the pods are so much smaller and lighter to carry, it’s easy to put several in your bag each day, and because performance is optimized, Gatorade becomes an even more valued part of sport pre-, during and post-game regimens. The Gx system has enabled coaches and athletes to positively modify hydration behaviors, by making a stronger connection between their exertion on the field and how this impacts baseline hydration needs pre- and post-activity. You only really need a sports drink if you’re working out for more than 75 minutes at a high intensity or in a hot climate. It’s tempting to roll your eyes and think, “Just use common sense, skip the patch, and drink regularly during exercise.
