Whenever you get tired of playing a sport or exercising, do you drink a sports drink or water? According to source A, sports drinks replenish electrolytes and carbohydrates and prevent muscle cramping. Plus, it has a more appealing taste. Water only keeps you hydrated and is considered a healthier option. So in a sense, sports drinks are a better choice.

In source C, it argues that sodium is the most important thing when it comes to exercise. According to source C, sports drinks have more sodium than coconut water(which is considered a natural sports drink). While it has more potassium, potassium is less important than sodium.

So while water is great for the body and is an all around natural fluid replacer, it cannot beat the sports drink.
