Before, during and after physical activity, hydration is a limiting factor in athletic performance. Therefore, adequate hydration provides benefits for health and performance of athletes. Besides, hydration is associated to the intake of carbohydrates, protein, sodium, caffeine and other substances by different dietary aids, during the training and/or competition by athletes. These requirements have led to the development of different products by the food industry, to cover the nutritional needs of athletes. Currently in the European context, the legal framework for the development of products, substances and health claims concerning to sport products is incomplete and scarce. Under these conditions, there are many products with different ingredients out of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) control where claims are wrong due to no robust scientific evidence and it can be dangerous for the health. Further scientific evidence should be constructed by new clinical trials in order to assist to the Experts Commitees at EFSA for obtaining robust scientific opinions concerning to the functional foods and the individual ingredients for sport population.
在体育活动之前、期间和之后，水合作用是运动表现的一个限制因素。因此，充足的水合作用对运动员的健康和表现有益。此外，在运动员训练和/或比赛期间，通过不同的膳食辅助手段，水合作用与碳水化合物、蛋白质、钠、咖啡因和其他物质的摄入有关。这些需求促使食品行业开发了不同的产品，以满足运动员的营养需求。目前在欧洲范围内，关于运动产品的产品、物质和健康声明的开发的法律框架不完整且稀缺。在这种情况下，有许多含有不同成分的产品不受欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）监管，其声称没有可靠的科学依据，可能对健康有害。应该通过新的临床试验构建进一步的科学证据，以协助EFSA的专家委员会获得关于运动人群功能性食品和单个成分的可靠科学意见。
