Background The assessment of body composition (BC) in sport raises concern for athlete health, especially where an overfocus on being lighter or leaner increases the risk of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) and disordered eating.

Milk protein ingestion does not enhance recovery from muscle-damaging resistance exercise in untrained males and females: a randomized controlled trial (2023)
Journal Article
Pearson, A. G., Macnaughton, L. S., & Hind, K. (2023). Milk protein ingestion does not enhance recovery from muscle-damaging resistance exercise in untrained males and females: a randomized controlled trial. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 48(6), 455-468. https://doi.org/10.1139/apnm-2022-0385

Milk-based proteins are a common choice of post-exercise nutrition to enhance exercise recovery and adaptation. Periexercise milk protein ingestion may attenuate exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), which is a particular risk to untrained individua...
