    The document discusses criteria for sports drinks and compares the composition of different brands. It suggests that sports drinks contain 4-8% carbohydrates (about 15g per 8 ounces) to aid in gastric emptying during exercise without impairing it. It then compares the calorie, carbohydrate, sodium, and potassium content of Gatorade, Powerade, Accelerade, Staminade, and an electrolyte drink, finding they generally contain around 6-8% carbohydrates, 0g protein, and varying amounts of sodium and potassium.
