I also know Pedialyte is often used by professional athletes who have to perform in our weather. During the pro volleyball tournament here recently all the players were drinking Pedialyte. I think there's something to it. After all, you give it to infants to keep them from dehydrating. Why not adults?

And poor air quality out here generally means high levels of particulate matter - 10 microns and above.

If Pedialyte or any other water-based drink works for you, then OK. Pedialyte and similar "rehydration formulae" consist of water with sugar and certain minerals.The sugar helps provide energy, and the minerals helps the body absorb water better.

The fact you would drink PLyte which many say is weird or wussified, gets my vote

It is never any fun working during the monsoon season here in Tucson. While Phoenix does have higher temps they are also usually a little drier. I drink the yogurt drinks, eat bananas and stay hydrated with Gatorade and lots of water. During the HS season it is rarely a problem but during the summer ball and club ball and then devoting some time to LL, yes LL, it is very important to your health to know how to stay properly hydrated.
I have State Championships for LL junior division next week here in Tucson and I am ready for the temps and humidity. Proper attire is Under Armour, Nike or some other type of moisture wicking under garment...very important for comfort.
Stay cool and healthy.
