Introduction During a sporting event, you may use
Gatorade or water to keep you hydrated or to help you perform better. Does it really work?
Problem Do drinks you use during sporting
events really help you perform better? Does it make a difference between genders?
Background Info. Energy drinks like Monster or
Rockstar can cause our heart rate and blood pressure to increase, and can cause us from losing sleep that we need.
It also makes us dehydrated if we use it during exercise.
Background Info. Cont. Caffeine masks the intoxicating effects
that would normally trigger the body to pass out.
When you depend on energy drinks, you miss out on essentials such as fiber and good quality protein.
Hypothesis I think drinks like Gatorade and water
would help keep you hydrated but wouldn’t actually affect the way you perform. I also think drinks like Rockstar and Monster would give you a real boost of energy but then you would have a sugar low.
Materials Stop Watch 16 cups 8 Subjects (4 boys, 4 girls) Measuring Cup A journal or graph to record data 1 sports drink + water
› Gatorade
Variables Independent: the different drink each
runner consumes. Dependent: what happens to the
runners when they consume the drink. Controlled: how much each runner gets
to drink and how far each runner runs.
Procedure Time your subjects when the run
from basketball ½ court line to basketball baseline, then full court and back (this is their “before” time).
After they run, have each one of them drink one of the same energy drinks (don’t forget to record data!).
Procedure cont. Have them drink ½ cup of the drink. EVERYONE NEEDS TO DRINK ALL THE
DRINKS!! Wait at least 15 minutes before you
time them again (have them run the same distance like their “before” time).
Procedure cont. Repeat all the steps until all your
runners have drank & ran for each drink.

Conclusion I was completely surprised that with
nothing in their body their times were better by a second or greater.
Their times with the Gatorade were all less than their times with water except for one person.
