Gatorade, moo-ve over. Chocolate milk is the latest sports drink lapping up attention in the fitness world. It might seem unusual that the creamy beverage of our childhood would benefit athletes, but several recent studies have found drinking milk after exercise to have positive effects on recovery, muscle building, and hydration.
Milk and Recovery
Drink milk, pedal longer. That’s what two separate studies found, when testing the effects of chocolate milk, Gatorade and Endurox R4, a carbohydrate-replacement drink, on endurance cyclists. Both studies followed the same procedure. On three separate days, nine male cyclists did an energy-depleting exercise session. After each session, they drank one of the three test drinks halfway through a four-hour recovery period. They then cycled in an endurance trial.
In the most recent study, eight of the nine subjects cycled for longer in the endurance trial after drinking chocolate milk than after drinking the other two drinks. The study, which was funded by Runner’s World and Masterfoods, was published in February 2009 in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism.
