[quote:6jyxdont]I think Gatorade or Powerade is good before and during activity, but not after.

I drink it sometimes before I play ultimate frisbee and it gives me a little bit of a boost (from the sugar). But I won’t drink it afterwards because I won’t be burning the sugar nearly as much when I stop moving.[/quote:6jyxdont]

I drink it whilst playing ultimate… I dunno if it helps or not. I drink soda after–not because it helps nutritionally, but because it helps get that pasty salty nasty taste out of my sweat-overwhelmed mouth.

I love ultimate.
