Watch Tiger sweat testing with GSSI scientists as he helps develop Gatorade Tiger product

Posted by admin under Buyers Guide, Fitness

Gatorade Tiger is a new line of Gatorade Thirst Quencher formulated for Tiger Woods in great-tasting flavors he selected. Gatorade Tiger provides the same carbohydrate energy to fuel muscles as Gatorade Thirst Quencher with 25 percent more electrolytes to deliver advanced hydration that helps people stay on top of their game, both physically and mentally.

Whether it’s on the course or during his training, Tiger Woods is known for being one of the hardest working competitors who continually looks for ways to improve himself as an athlete. Gatorade is launching Gatorade Tiger because hydration is important to his game. I wanted to offer you some information surrounding the launch of Gatorade Tiger to share with your readers.

Gatorade began working with Tiger Woods in fall 2007, when he met with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI). Scientists conducted sweat analysis testing with Woods, which showcased his dedication to this collaboration and to improving every aspect of his training and competition. GSSI scientists measured Woods’ sweat rate, sweat electrolyte concentration, fluid and electrolyte balance and energy needs during a vigorous round of exercise. Based on the scientific results of the tests, GSSI developed a specialized hydration and nutrition strategy.

Gatorade Tiger is available in three new and refreshing flavors inspired and selected by Woods, including Red Drive (Cherry blend), Cool Fusion (Citrus blend) and Quiet Storm (Grape blend). Woods has been drinking Gatorade Tiger on-course since December’s Target World Challenge to Benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation.

“I’ve experienced a lot of amazing moments in my golf career, but no matter what I accomplish my goal is to be better tomorrow than I was today,” said Woods. “Now that Gatorade Tiger is hitting store shelves, I am excited for everyone to try it.”
