During the coaches meeting at the Junior Olympics, a speaker from Oklahoma University gave a lecture about the benefits of milk regarding both Pre and Post exercise and or workouts. I thought this was interesting:
He passed out a brochure on how milk provides the fuel athletes need to be active and the fluids, nutrients and protein to help refuel after exercise, and here are some of the clips I took from the brochure itself:
Research shows there's a two-hour recovery window when the real work begins- refueling, building, and repairing muscles. That takes protein, and lowfat chocolate milk is a natural source of high quality protein. Plus, it's packed with essential nutrients not typically found in other sports drinks including calcium and vitamin D, which can help prevent stress fractures and broken bones.
The studies has focused on the following areas:
- Chocolate milk's role in helping athletes refuel muscles after a workout.
- Regular and chocolate milk's impact on reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and building muscle after exercise.
- How milk compares to other drinks for hydration after exercise, and its ability to replenish needed electrolytes and fluids.
