The purpose of this experiment was to find out how different sports drinks affect athletic performance. I chose this project because I am a baseball player, and there are many sports drinks on the market that all claim to be the best. I learned from my experiment that there was no clear top drink that improved athletic performance. The important part is to stay hydrated to perform well. I think my project is important because it applies to real life. Many people participate in athletic sports, and it helps them to know the importance of hydration.
Interesting experiment! You did an excellent job laying out all of the procedures to control for as many variables as possible. I appreciate your objectivity n your conclusion and how you could improve the experiment if you were to do it again. Nice job!
great initiative
You did a really strong job creating a fair experiment and testing sports drinks compared to water. I liked that you used water as a control, tested three participants, and did three trials for each drink, then averaged the times. Your graphs and results were clear, and I also liked that you explained that different people had different “best” drinks.
Well done with the visual presentation of your findings.
Great job!! This was very well executed!
