"Athletes may get the same post-workout boost from a bowl of cereal as they might expect from a sports drink, researchers found.Save the money.
A bowl of cereal with nonfat milk after exercise produced statistically similar results as a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink for nearly all measures of muscle glycogen and protein synthesis, Lynne Kammer, M.S.E., M.A., of the University of Texas at Austin, and colleagues reported.
The findings, in trained cyclists and triathletes, were reported in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
