Abstract For optimal performance, athletes should aim to be hydrated and adequately fuelled during exercise. Because Dehydration leads to : •Muscle fatigue and loss of coordination. Even small amounts of water loss may hinder athletic performance. •In a dehydrated state the body is unable to cool itself efficiently, leading to heat exhaustion and possibly heat stroke. •Without an adequate supply of water the body will lack energy and muscles may develop cramps. Sports drinks are designed to provide the right balance of carbohydrate and fluid, to ensure that they are emptied quickly from the stomach and are rapidly absorbed from the small intestine. When used according to sports nutrition guidelines, sports drinks can have performance benefits. The aim of the work was: •To find the impact of some sporting drinks on biomarkers by using several kinds of drinks on young athlete. •To use fresh fruits to make sport drink. •Compare between natural drink and artificial drink The study was carried out as follows: This study was undertaken on a random sample (27) athlete from Sheikh Zayed youth center at 6 October region in Cairo. The study continued for 6 months. For each Athlete , data related to many parameters were collected during the study before and after drink sports drinks for a period of two months , three types of drinks were used ( water - natural drink - artificial drink ) about 2 cup for each half av hour of training. These parameters included: Food intake (24-hour food intake for three days). Anthropometric measurements: body weights and heights. Body composition: Body fat % - Body water % - Muscle mass % - Bone mass Kg. Biochemical Assessment: RBCS - hemoglobin – sodium in serum – potassium in serum. Vital signs: systolic blood pressure – diastolic blood pressure - Heart rate - Body temperature Performance measurements for athletes: Abdominal crunches - Push-ups - Running in place. Statistical Analysis Juice preparation A. Mixture of juice from fresh fruits (pomegranate and peaches, oranges and mandarins) in different ratio to prepare the juice suit athletes. B. And used a sports drink of available products in the local market. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: 1. Anthropometric measurements showed that there was a high significant difference between the water and natural drink groups and athletes height before and after intervention, meanwhile there was a high significant difference between the artificial drink group and athletes weight before and after intervention. 2. For body composition, Bones (Kg) was significant difference at natural drink group. But for fat percentage, water percentage and Muscle percentage there were no significant difference with sports drink groups. 3. Our results revealed that there was a high significant difference ( p≤ 0.001)between weight changes before and after exercise and ( before and after intervention) and drinks type. 4. There was a significant differences between red blood count (RBC) before and after intervention and sports drinks groups, and a highly significant difference between Haemoglobin (Hb) before and after intervention at natural drink group, while there was no significant differences between haemoglobin before and after intervention at water and artificial drink groups. 5. Data indicated that there was a very high significant difference between serum sodium (Na) before and after intervention and all drinks groups. And Serum potassium (K) before and after intervention have significant differences with sports drinks groups. 6. There was a significant difference between diastolic blood pressure before and after intervention at natural drink group but there were no significant differences with the water drink group and artificial drink group, but systolic blood pressure was with high significant before and after intervention at artificial drink group meanwhile there were no significant differences between before and after intervention for the water drink and natural drink group. 7. There were no significant differences between heart rate before and after intervention or body temperature with sports drinks groups. 8. Results confined for performance tests before and after intervention that there was a high significant difference between each drinks type and abdominal exercise, push up and run. 9. Food intake: 1.
