Does Gatorade speed up rehydration compared to electrolyte water?

Both Gatorade and electrolyte water contains electrolytes and essentially work the same way to rehydrate your body. However, they can be used for different purposes. Gatorade provides energy in the form of carbohydrates, with some electrolyes, to help you train longer without fatigue. Electrolyte water has a high electrolyte content without the carbs to replenish what you sweat out.
