USA Swimming earlier this week posted an article on the differences between sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade) and energy drinks (e.g. Red Bull). This article can be found on the USA Swimming website, click here.

Description:
The USA Swimming Sports Medicine and Science Committee has recently reviewed the risks and benefits related to energy drinks and is providing information to call attention to the differences between energy drinks and “sports drinks” used for rehydration, to point out the risks associated with such drinks, and to provide suggested alternatives to use of these drinks.
