A group of New Zealand researchers gave questionnaires to professional athletes whom take part in various sports which involve, running, biking and swimming.
Nearly 94% of the professional athletes stated that they ate during training, 84% mentioned the consumption of sports drinks. Approximately 50% said that during training sessions they drank sports drinks or water by taking "little sips, often, from a bottle." Just few of them thought however, that the way they eat and drink during training could put them at risk for cavities. Upon further research, 10 out of 10 athletes who had oral exams were at high risk of developing cavities.
