Answer preview
Rehydration and recovery after exercise are important in ensuring optimal performance, especially for intermittent sports. A breadth of studies has investigated the role of dairy products in athletes’ subsequent performance. The increasing understanding of milk potential in sporting and physical exercises highlights the potential of milk’s nutritional composition in post exercise recovery. The current review synthesizes available literature on the milk as an aid to recovery following intermitted exercises. The first subsection highlights recovery nutrition composition and its relevance in performance. The second subsection provides a review of literature on chocolate milk nutrition and their benefit in sporting activities, including the emerging concept of milk matrix. The third, fourth and fifth subsections provide a summary of randomized control trials on chocolate milk and rehydration, exercise induced muscle damage attenuation and recovery, respectively.
