Skimmed milk better than isotonics for post-sport rehydration?

Drinking skimmed milk after exercise may promote recovery and rehydration better than water or an isotonic sports drink, suggests a new study from the UK.
Writing in the British Journal of Nutrition, researchers from Loughborough University's School of Sports and Exercise Sciences report that volunteers in their trial remained hydrated after drinking milk, but remained dehydrated after drinking the other drinks.
"The results of the study are really exciting as they show skimmed milk to produce a significant improvement in re-hydration compared to the other drinks evaluated in the study. As dehydration can have an impact on performance, it is essential to re-hydrate in preparation for subsequent exercise in order to help maximise one's abilities," said lead author Susan Shirreffs from Loughborough University.
