Abstract

Rehydration is essential for post-exercise and sport recovery. Milk seems to be a good option like sport drinks after exercise, yet the rehydration mechanisms are still not fully understood. The aim of this study was to measure the effect of drinking low-fat milk and an isotonic beverage after intermittent exercise on urine electrolytes. 14 physically active men (23 ± 4 y) were split into two groups: 1) rehydration with isotonic drink (ISO), and 2) rehydration with low-fat milk (LBG). Specific gravity (GEO) and electrolytes (Na+ and K+) were measured in urine before and after exercise with rehydration. Significant differences were found for the GEO and in K+ excretion in the LBG group (p <0.05). Both groups showed significant differences for Na+ excretion concentrations. We conclude that drinking low fat milk after exercise when compared to an isotonic drink, improves GEO and K excretion.
