Caught this in the latest issue of Modern Drunkard:
Juan Antonio Corbalan, a cardiologist who worked formerly with Real Madrid football players and Spain’s national basketball team, said beer has the perfect profile for rehydration after strenuous exercise.The Daily Mail has some more details regarding the experiment:
[Professor Garzon] believes the carbon dioxide in beer helps quench the thirst more quickly, while beer's carbohydrates replace calories lost during physical exertion.
Based on the studies, the researchers have recommended moderate consumption of beer - 500ml a day for men or 250ml for women - as part of an athlete's diet.
Not only does the post-class trip to the bar make for team-building and camaraderie, but it's appears to be smart training as well.

Excellent. And since I have just completed 13 five minute rounds of spinning kicks (I am quite dizzy) I think now is the perfect time for me to partake in a nice carby beer.
