Categories of Sport Drinks

Sports drinks can be split into three major types:

  • Isotonic sport drinks contain similar concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body.
  • Hypertonic sport drinks contain a higher concentration of salt and sugar than the human body.

Kitsch is the equivalent to the “cliché” in discourse.
