Critically analyse the recommendations for hydration during endurance events and discuss the role of sports drinks in relationship to health and performance

ssessment task to some extent in terms of being partially about hydration, endurance sports, and sports drinks, and it includes evidence of successful engagement with some of the subject matter, but such satisfactory characteristics are clearly outweighed by major deficiencies across remaining areas. The work is missing references and many of the refrences included have little to do with the what was said in the text. The assignment was to do a critical literature review and this work does not analyse the sources of evidence from which the work is derived.”If the body of the human body”Serious problem: Lacked critical review of recommendations and of research papers they were based on. Relied heavily on Cox et al. (2006) and never critically analysed the paper about sledding in the arctic. “It is therefore recommended for every coach to give his or her players lots of fluids during the periods of exercising for the replacement of lost liquid from the athlete (Cox et al., 2006).”Serious problem, misattribution: “taking excessive amounts of sports drinks before, during and after endurance events may bring about electrolyte depletion and lead to a condition known as hyponatremia (Snell et al., 2010). ” Snell et al. (2010) did not adress hypotnatremia in that paper. and they did not say anything about sweating and 500ml of fluid “It is highly recommended that the sportsmen take about 500 ml of fluid solution one to two hours prior to the competition and continue taking cold drinks at some regular intervals to replace the lost body fluids through sweating (Snell et al., 2010). “you also relied heavily on “ROBERT, C., GOACHET, A., FRAIPONT, A., VOTION, D., Van ERCK, E. and LECLERC, J. 2010. Hydration and electrolyte balance in horses during an endurance season. Equine Veterinary Journal, 42, pp.98-104.” which is about horse but you used it for things like “It remains a fact that excess of any nutrient be it protein, calcium, iron or any other will lead to an improvement in the performance of the sportsmen and sportswomen (Robert et al., 2010). “Serious omision: never discussed the debate between drinking to a protocol or drinking to thirst and never addressed the recommendations of authoritative bodies.”…goal to lose his or her body fat…These programs would include a selection of more nutrient dense foods and sports drinks in the diets …” most people trying to lose weight would not be exerting themselves for over an hour and so sports drinks would not necessarily require sports drinks.”It is however advised to start drinking early in exercise and adopt a good pattern of taking small amounts of liquids regularly than trying to tolerate massive volumes once. ” reference? who advises this? Is it your recommendation? what is it based on?You need to challenge recieved opinion “High quantity of fluids are needed by the athletes in avoiding the possible thermal stress, maintaining plasma volumes, delays fatigue
