Answer 1

When lifting heavy weights for 30 minutes.

Reason: sports drinks are useful for prolonged or high‑intensity exercise that causes heavy sweating (to replace electrolytes and provide carbs). For short, low‑intensity sessions (20 min run, 15 min crunches, <45 min walk) plain water is usually sufficient.
