Hence, there is an important function of rehydrating the body with fluids sport drinks containing electrolytes and carbohydrates to improve exercise endurance and performance. In this study examined the effects of effect of home made fruit drink coconut and pineapple on exercise endurance time of young adult females, age 17 26 years of their height ranges 1.53 1.74 meters , weight ranges 42 98kg and their BMI ranges 16.41 35.25 kg m2 jogged at designated points for 45 minutes.
