Cereal with Milk has Same Outcome as Sports Drink

May 14, 2009: 07:36 AM EST
Cereal with milk may be as effective as sports drinks in aiding muscle recovery after endurance exercise, say researchers from the Exercise Physiology and Metabolism Laboratory at the University of Texas, Austin. Lynne Kammer and other researchers found that the cereal and non-fat milk combination affected muscles differently from the carbohydrate-electrolyte sports drink, but that the overall result after moderate exercise was similar. They conclude that the cereal combination could be used instead of sports drinks, particularly for athletes who “refuel” at home.
