Isotonic drinks or sports drinks become a favorite of many people after physical activity. But the two latest studies conclude milk chocolate is the most ideal beverage to restore the post-exercise physical stamina.


"Athletes or people who exercise for fitness alike will get optimal physical recovery if they drink low-fat chocolate milk after working out hard," said Dr. John Ivy of the University of Texas, Austin, USA, who conducted this research.

Those who drank chocolate milk after exercise also has a composition body with more muscle mass and less fat. Additionally endurance becomes longer, and generally better physical shape than the participants who consumed a sports drink that contains only carbohydrates.

Research conducted Ivy and his team carried out by comparing the benefits of physical recovery among people who drank chocolate milk after exercise with a sports drink that has the same composition and the number of calories in sports drinks on the market.

Tests conducted by asking 10 athletes bike to ride a bike for 90 minutes at moderate intensity then increased to a high intensity for 10 minutes.

The researchers found athletes have more power and pedaling faster if they eat low-fat chocolate milk compared to those drinking sports drinks or calorie-free beverages.

The researchers also tested 32 men and women amateur cyclists to exercise speed (spinning) five times a week followed by consuming three drinks that were tested.

The result, after 4.5 months of training, chocolate milk drinkers have an increase in maximal oxygen uptake compared to the other.

Maximal oxygen uptake is an indicator of aerobic endurance athlete and the ability to exercise continuously.

The amateur cyclists from chocolate milk group also form more muscle and trim more fat during exercise.

"We are not sure the mechanism that causes the low-fat chocolate milk is beneficial to the athletes. But it is naturally combined protein and carbohydrate in these drinks may be an impact," said Ivy.

In addition to drink right after exercise, he also reminded the importance of three-minute recovery period after exercise.
