Abstract

This study investigates how different timings of sports drink consumption prior to exercise impact physiological and performance outcomes such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, VO₂ max, and overall exercise capacity during game-based workouts. The research explores the roles of hydration, energy availability, and nutritional strategies in maximizing performance. Emphasis is placed on comparing the physiological responses under varied pre-exercise intake windows. Results are expected to offer practical insights for athletes and coaches regarding optimal drink timing strategies to enhance athletic outcomes.
