Background Sports drinks intended to improve performance and hydrate athletes taking part in endurance sport are being marketed to children, for whom these products are not intended. Popularity among children has grown exponentially. Worryingly they consume them socially, as well as during physical activity. Sports drinks are high in sugar and are acidic. Product marketing ignores the potential harmful effects of dental caries and erosion.Objective To investigate the use of sports drinks by children.Method One hundred and eighty-three self-complete questionnaires were distributed to four schools in South Wales. Children in high school years 8 and 9 (aged 12-14) were recruited to take part. Questions focused on use of sports drinks, type consumed, frequency of and reason for consumption and where drinks were purchased.Results One hundred and sixty children responded (87% response rate): 89.4% (143) claimed to drink sports drinks, half drinking them at least twice a week. Lucozade Sport(™) was the most popular brand. The main reason for consuming the drinks was attributed to the 'nice taste' (90%, 129/143). Most respondents purchased the drinks from local shops (80.4%, 115) or supermarkets (54.5%, 78). More boys claimed to drink sports drinks during physical activity (77.9% versus 48.6% girls, P <0.001). Whereas more girls claimed to drink them socially (51.4% versus 48.5% boys, NS).Conclusion A high proportion of children consumed sports drinks regularly and outside of sporting activity. Dental health professionals should be aware of the popularity of sports drinks with children when giving health education advice or designing health promotion initiatives.
背景 旨在提高耐力运动运动员表现并为其补水的运动饮料正面向儿童进行营销，而这些产品并非针对儿童设计。这类饮料在儿童中的受欢迎程度呈指数级增长。令人担忧的是，他们不仅在体育活动期间饮用，还在社交场合饮用。运动饮料含糖量高且呈酸性。产品营销忽视了龋齿和牙齿侵蚀的潜在有害影响。
目的 调查儿童对运动饮料的使用情况。
方法 向南威尔士的四所学校发放了183份自填式问卷。招募了8年级和9年级（12 - 14岁）的高中生参与。问题集中在运动饮料的使用情况、饮用类型、饮用频率和原因以及饮料的购买地点。
结果 160名儿童做出回应（回复率87%）：89.4%（143名）声称饮用运动饮料，其中一半至少每周饮用两次。Lucozade Sport（™）是最受欢迎的品牌。饮用这些饮料的主要原因是“味道好”（90%，129/143）。大多数受访者从当地商店（80.4%，115名）或超市（54.5%，78名）购买饮料。更多男孩声称在体育活动期间饮用运动饮料（77.9%，而女孩为48.6%，P <0.001）。而更多女孩声称在社交场合饮用（51.4%，而男孩为48.5%，无显著差异）。
结论 很大一部分儿童在体育活动之外也经常饮用运动饮料。牙科保健专业人员在提供健康教育建议或设计健康促进活动时，应意识到运动饮料在儿童中的受欢迎程度。
