Notably celebrity endorsements used by sport drink manufacturers such as England’s Wayne Rooney, Real Madrid's Gareth Bale, or golf champion Tiger Woods have all had sponsorship deals.

The amount of time you wait after you eat will depend on what sport and what you are consuming. For example, the larger the meal, the longer you should wait before exercise.…
