That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Endurance athletes would use hypertonic drinks to top up muscle glycogen stores. Hypertonic drinks have a higher concentration of carbohydrates, which can be quickly absorbed by the body and converted into glycogen to replenish energy stores. This is important for endurance athletes who engage in prolonged physical activity and need to sustain their energy levels for extended periods of time. Water and hypotonic drinks, on the other hand, do not provide the same level of carbohydrate concentration and would not be as effective in replenishing muscle glycogen stores.
