Athletes may be turning to milk as a highly effective drink following an
increase in the number of research studies to support its sporting benefits.

The new study investigated whether women consuming skimmed milk versus a
carbohydrate drink, such as readily available sports drinks with an equal number
of calories, would gain lean muscle mass and lose fat mass after resistance
exercise.
