Nine male, endurance-trained cyclists performed an interval workout followed by 4 h of recovery, and a subsequent endurance trial to exhaustion at 70% VO2max, on three separate days. Immediately following the first exercise bout and 2 h of recovery, subjects drank isovolumic amounts of chocolate milk, fluid replacement drink (FR), or carbohydrate replacement drink (CR), in a single-blind, randomized design. Carbohydrate content was equivalent for chocolate milk and CR. Time to exhaustion (TTE), average heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and total work (WT) for the endurance exercise were compared between trials. TTE and WT were significantly greater for chocolate milk and FR trials compared to CR trial. The results of this study suggest that chocolate milk is an effective recovery aid between two exhausting exercise bouts.

To maximize training quality, athletes have sought nutritional supplements that optimize recovery. This study compared chocolate milk (CHOC) with a carbohydrate replacement beverage (CRB) as a recovery aid after intense exercise, regarding performance and muscle damage markers in trained cyclists. Ten regional-level cyclists and triathletes (maximal oxygen uptake 55.2 ± 7.2 mL·kg–1·min–1) completed a high-intensity intermittent exercise protocol, then 15–18 h later performed a performance trial at 85% of maximal oxygen uptake to exhaustion. Participants consumed 1.0 g carbohydrate·kg–1·h–1 of a randomly assigned isocaloric beverage (CHOC or CRB) after the first high-intensity intermittent exercise session. The same protocol was repeated 1 week later with the other beverage. A 1-way repeated measures analysis of variance revealed no significant difference (p = 0.91) between trials for time to exhaustion at 85% of maximal oxygen uptake (CHOC 13 ± 10.2 min, CRB 13.5 ± 8.9 min). The cha...
Chocolate Milk and Endurance Exercise Recovery
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2012
The food and fluid provided in the acute post-exercise period plays an essential role in endurance exercise recovery and adaptation. The current systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to identify and synthesize research that investigated the effect of dairy milk beverages in comparison to alternative post-exercise beverages on markers of 'exercise recovery optimisation', which may influence subsequent endurance exercise performance. Seventeen papers met the inclusion criteria. Quality assessment was undertaken using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias. Intervention beverages included fresh dairy milk (n= 3), chocolate flavoured dairy milk (n= 6), dairy milk-based sports beverages (n= 4), or a combination of the aforementioned beverages (n= 4). Results indicate dairy milk enhanced muscle protein synthesis (i.e., mixed fractional synthetic rate: 0.11%/h dairy milk vs. 0.08%/h control), and elicited similar rates of muscle glycogen resynthesis (5.9 mmol/kgWW/h) compared to a carbohydrate replacement beverage (7.6 mmol/kgWW/h). Seven studies investigated the effect of dairy milk beverages on hydration status, three of which found no differences in restoring net fluid balance after consumption of a dairy milk or dairy milk-based beverage compared to a carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage and (or) water, when consumed ad libitum. The remaining four studies observed a greater net fluid balance after consumption of a dairy milk or dairy milk-based beverage compared to an isovolumetric dose of a carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage and (or) water. To date, no study has investigated the effect of dairy milk consumption after endurance exercise on markers of immune competency or gastrointestinal status. Five studies observed enhanced time-trial or time-to-exhaustion performance (7.4% to 52.4%) with a dairy milk beverage compared to an isocaloric beverage, while another study found no differences. It is concluded that dairy milk may provide either comparable or superior recovery nutrition qualities with regards to muscle protein synthesis, glycogen replenishment, rehydration, and subsequent endurance exercise performance, when compared to non-nutritive, carbohydrate replacement, and (or) carbohydrate-electrolyte alternatives.
Effect of Post-Exercise Chocolate Milk Consumption on Subsequent Exercise Performance and Mood State
International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences
A demand for nutritional supplements to enhance recovery after endurance training is increasing among athletes to maximize their performance. The present study was conducted to identify the effects of chocolate milk consumption on blood glucose level, hydration status and mood state of the athlete after aerobic exercise. Ten male students from the Faculty of Sport Science and Coaching, UPSI (23.7±.68 years) participated in two trials separated by 1 week. For each trial consumed either chocolate milk (CM) or glucose drink (GD) after a 60 minute run at 70% of VO2max (46.43±1.32 ml/kg/min). Blood glucose levels were determined 1 and 2 hours after post-exercise CM or GD ingestion. Urine samples were collected before and 2 hours after exercise to assess hydration status. The mood state of the subject was also measured using the BRUMS questionnaire. The data were analysed by using a paired sample t-test. The results show that blood glucose levels and the urine colour are not significantly different between CM and GD consumption after exercise. Consumption of CM and GD able to reduce the feelings of tiredness, fatigue and depression, and increase vigour. These findings indicate both drinks can be consumed as a post-exercise recovery drink for endurance athletes.
Recovery with Drinking Chocolate Milk Vs Cow's Milk on Muscle Strength after Exercise
International Journal of Multicultural and Multireligious Understanding, 2021
Athletes in order to peak performance require practice, sustained, overload, and carried in a long time. Then exercise it is a duty and a body condition required to be always healthy and ready to receive the next portion of training. Therefore a recovery is as important as training. Recovery is applied by oral, which includes the consumption of carbohydrate drinks, protein and mineral, among which the munching includes chocolate milk (K1), cow's milk (K2) and placebo (K3) which is expected to restore lost body mass, replanish energy, muscle regeneration and reduce the buildup of lactic acid. The two drinks were compared to the effectiveness by measuring the leg muscle strength of the research subjects after running 5 km, then immediately consuming the drink (500 ml) according to the treatment group that was randomly divided. The measurement of muscle strength was carried out 4 times, which is: (1) before running 5km; (2) immediately after running 5 km (3) after 1 hour of drinkin...
Omega-3 enriched chocolate milk: A functional drink to improve health during exhaustive exercise
Journal of Functional Foods, 2015
Omega-3 enriched chocolate milk (O3ECM) has a suitable combination of proteins, electrolytes and carbohydrates for post-workout recovery. Herein, the effects of an O3ECM on biochemical parameters and muscle damage in sedentary rats submitted to a session of intense and acute exhaustive exercise was evaluated. Forty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into the following test groups: (a) sedentary rats fed a chocolate milk; (b) sedentary rats fed an O3ECM; (c) exercised rats fed a chocolate milk; and (d) exercised rats fed an O3ECM. After 15 days, the analysis of muscle damage and health parameters was performed. The results showed that the O3ECM consumption decreased the muscle damage (creatine kinase −20% and lactate dehydrogenase −18.7%), as well as increased the activity of endogenous enzymes (catalase +41%, superoxide dismutase +26.7% and glutathione peroxidase +35.7%) and decreased the total cholesterol (−7.8%) and triacylglycerols (−16.2%). Overall, O3ECM can minimize the deleterious effects of exhaustive exercise.

The effect of milk on recovery from repeat-sprint cycling in female team-sport athletes
Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme, 2017
The consumption of milk post-eccentric exercise attenuates the effects of muscle damage in team-sport athletes. However, participation in team sport involves both concentric-eccentric loading and metabolic stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of post-exercise milk consumption on recovery from a cycling protocol designed to simulate the metabolic demands of team sport. Ten female team-sport athletes participated in a randomised cross-over investigation. Upon completion of the protocol participants consumed 500ml of milk (MILK) or 500ml of an energy-matched carbohydrate (CHO) drink. Muscle function (peak torque, rate of force development (RFD), countermovement jump (CMJ), 20m sprint), muscle soreness and tiredness, serum creatine kinase (CK), (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and measures of oxidative stress (protein carbonyls (PC) and GSH:GSSG (oxidized glutathione:reduced glutathione) ratio) were determined pre-, 24h, 48h and 72h post-ex...
Milk: a smart recovery choice for athletes
Milk is a complete beverage that provides many nutrients and minerals. It represents a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and electrolytes; all critical nutrients to facilitate recovery from sports activities. Recently, there has been an increasing amount of research conducted on the benefits of milk as a sports beverage, especially following both strength and endurance sports. This research suggests that milk is an effective recovery beverage after exercise that results in favourable short-term changes in protein metabolism with possible long-term benefits. Milk consumption acutely increases muscle protein synthesis, leading to an improved net muscle protein balance. Milk intake following resistance training (12 weeks minimum) can lead to greater increases in muscle size and lean mass in both young men and women. Research on milk intake after endurance exercise is limited, but suggests milk as an effective post-exercise beverage for endurance activities in regards to carbohydr...
