Whats better Gatorade or water?

It depends on the type of sport you're playing, and the weather conditions. On a very hot day where the heat index is at a dangerous level, and where you are sweating well above normal, Gatorade might be a decent choice. Sports involving padding/helmets and hot weather certainly warrant consideration of Gatorade. The idea of Gatorade hydrating you any better than water is a complete myth. Gatorade contains electrolytes, which water doesn't, to help aid your basic muscular functions in extreme conditions. But it isn't absorbed into your system any better or more quickly than water is. This is a very common misconception that has been drilled into our heads by Gatorade's marketing campaign. The amount of sugar in the drink is worrisome, however. I recommend cutting Gatorade in 2 with water. 90% of athletes should just stick to water. And drinking Gatorade while not playing a sport is completely unnecessary!

How is sport scientists used in sport?

Sports scientists are used in a variety of ways. Manufacturers of equipment use scientists, as do beverage companies (like Gatorade), owners of teams (to work on facilities and care), as well as doctors. Science is used to find optimal conditions for whatever the problem at hand is. Gatorade was developed by scientists to solve the problem of athletes being dehydrated. Water wasn't enough to properly hydrate them fast enough, so scientists added electrolytes (salts) to properly hydrate them. New shoes and sports equipment hit the market all the time. They are lighter, stronger and more durable than their predecessors. There are plenty more things that sports scientists can do.
