Popis: JOSSE, A. R., J. E. TANG, M. A. TARNOPOLSKY, and S. M. PHILLIPS. Body Composition and Strength Changes in Women with Milk and Resistance Exercise. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 1122–1130, 2010. Purpose: We aimed to determine whether women consuming fat-free milk versus isoenergetic carbohydrate after resistance exercise would see augmented gains in lean mass and reductions in fat mass similar to what we observed in young men. Methods: Young women were randomized to drink either fat-free milk (MILK: n = 10; age (mean T SD) = 23.2 T 2.8 yr; BMI = 26.2 T 4.2 kgIm j2 ) or isoenergetic carbohydrate (CON: n =1 0; age =2 2.4T 2.4 yr; BMI = 25.2 T 3.8 kgIm j2 ) immediately after and 1 h after exercise (2 500 mL). Subjects exercised 5 dIwk j1 for 12 wk. Body composition changes were measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and subjects’ strength and fasting blood were measured before and after training. Results: CON gained weight after training (CON: +0.86 T 0.4 kg, P G 0.05; MILK: +0.50 T 0.4 kg, P = 0.29). Lean mass increased with training in both groups (P G 0.01), with a greater net gain in MILK versus CON (1.9 T 0.2 vs 1.1 T 0.2 kg, respectively, P G 0.01). Fat mass decreased with training in MILK only (j1.6 T 0.4 kg, P G 0.01; CON: j0.3 T 0.3 kg, P = 0.41). Isotonic strength increased more in MILK than CON (P G 0.05) for some exercises. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D increased in both groups but to a greater extent in MILK than CON (+6.5 T 1.1 vs +2.8 T 1.3 nM, respectively, P G 0.05), and parathyroid hormone decreased only in MILK (j1.2 T 0.2 pM, P G 0.01). Conclusions: Heavy, whole-body resistance exercise with the consumption of milk versus carbohydrate in the early postexercise period resulted in greater muscle mass accretion, strength gains, fat mass loss, and a possible reduction in bone turnover in women after 12 wk. Our results, similar to those in men, highlight that milk is an effective drink to support favorable body composition
