Effects of resistance training and milk supplementation on body composition in middle school children

This is a current project.

Description

Body composition changes in response to resistance training. In particular, muscle mass may be enhanced by increased milk consumption during the training protocol. This has potential benefits for both athletic performance and general health. Skeletal muscle mass is an important determinant of basal metabolic rate, and is capable of high rates of energy expenditure; both characteristics play an important role in weight management. Increased milk consumption could positively affect adolescents' athletic performance and health.
