A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark lead Gatorade’s women’s science initiative

A’ja Wilson and Caitlin Clark are key figures in Gatorade's new research initiative focusing on women's hydration and nutrition. This campaign, titled 'Body of Science,' reveals alarming results: female basketball players lose the most sodium during training, and 57% of female athletes do not consume enough carbohydrates. The initiative aims to address significant gaps in sports science research, which has been predominantly based on male athletes. The findings underscore the need for tailored nutritional strategies for women in sports. Future research will target women's specific needs across various life stages.
