Gatorade x KicksOnFire – Vincent Jackson Interview (San Diego Chargers)

The introduction of the new G-Series marks a major step in the evolution of Gatorade from a sports drink to a sports performance innovator. Scientists collaborated with athletes such as Usain Bolt, Serena Williams, Peyton Manning, Misty May Treanor, Dwayne Wade, Derrick Jeter, Ellery Hollingsworth and Landon Donovan to create the new Gatorade G-Series. The new series is a line of sports performance products that fuel athletes before (Gatorade Prime 01), during (Gatorade Perform 02) and after (Gatorade Recover 03) workout, practice or competition.

• Pre-test weight-in and urine collection.
• 30-min cycling session.
• Post-test weigh-out.
