Answer 1

When lifting heavy weights for 30 minutes.

Reason: sports drinks can be helpful for higher-intensity exercise that lasts long enough to cause significant sweating and carbohydrate use. For short, low‑intensity activities (running <20 min, crunches 15 min, walking <45 min) plain water is usually sufficient.
