Kids' drinks during sport and activity.
Drawing by Walker from Tad Brisendine's running program
Wonder what's best for your kids to drink during intensive sport an activity? Then check out the "Active Kids' Hydration Report Card". The card groups the common beverages children drink during sport into one of these categories: MAKES THE GRADE, OK, IF IT'S THE ONLY DRINK AVAILABLE, and FALLS SHORT.
Dr. Jackie Bering, Ph.D., R.D. partnered with the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) to study this topic. The report was based on extensive research and recommendations of leading health specialists and organizations.

The report compares recommendations as to optimal percentage of carbohydrate intake, calories, electrolytes, and carbonation to the actual composition of drinks.
