This one hour BBC Panorama programme which was first shown last July looks at the various claims made about sports products.
It starts off with sports drinks, then running shoes and finishes with nutritional supplements. In each case, the direct evidence for supporting manufacturers claims is poor. In one study of Marathon runners, they found that there was no performance difference between those who drank a sports drink and those who just drank water.
As with all YouTube clips, watch it sooner rather than later. Video clips of TV programmes are often deleted. Worth watching.
