Science Friday: with apologies to NPR and beer bongs everywhere

From the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism and the Department of Kinesiology at Indiana University:

Karp JR, Johnston JD, Tecklenburg S, et. al., Chocolate milk as a post-exercise recovery aid, 2006; 16, 78-91

Nutshell: You need glycogen stored in your liver to perform well in endurance exercise. You resynthesize glycogen between training sessions most rapidly if you consume carbohydrates within 30 minutes after exercise, and adding protein to the mix will improve endurance performance compared to drinks with carbos alone.

This team of investigators hypothesized that the time to exhaustion (TTE) during a second bout of exercise after a first that depleted glycogen would be longer if the subjects drank chocolate milk (CM) {low-fat from Kroger's I kid you not} as compared to those who drank simple fluid replacement (FR) {aka Gatordade}. In addition, they figured that the TTE for CM drinkers would be equivalent to the TTE for those who drank carbohydrate replacement (CR) drinks {something called Endurox R4}

BREAKING AWAY??

SO--- they got 9 male cyclists from IU's cycling team and ran them thru 4 spin-classes from hell (er, testing sessions) comprised of 2 bouts of cycling to exhaustion separated by 4 hours of recovery. During those 4 hours they consumed equivalent amounts of either CM, Gatorade (FR), or Endurox (CR). After all the abuse, the subjects cycled 49% longer after CM as compared to Endurox, and 54% longer after Gatorade as compared to Endurox. BUT there was no statistically significant difference between CM and Gatorade......

BACK TO DRINKING THE KOOL-AID???

The investigators, who by the way were supported by the Dairy Council for this work, state as their conclusion, "results of the study suggest that chocolate milk, with its high carbohydrate and protein content, may be considered an effective alternative to commercial fluid replacement and carbohydrate replacement for recovery from exhausting glycogen-depleting exercise."

So, while chocolate milk may be very "sexy", at least in this study, it didn't seem to provide any advantage over Gatorade..........

What an amazing College World Series between Georgia and Fresno State.
Fresno State wins! led by some Big Bulldogs:

Steve Detwiler with 2 dingers and 6 RBIs on the night, all with a completely jacked up thumb
Tommy Mendonca, the CWS' Most Outstanding Player lighting up the hot corner despite 4 dislocated fingers
Steve Susdorf, who previously turned down 50K from the Detroit Tigers last year to stay in school and graduate with a degree in civil engineering--who was drafted again this year by the Philadelphia Phillies
And Frosh Danny Muno who, poor kid, had 3 errors playing SS on the night but came up with the gut-check double play in the ninth to squelch a Georgia rally.

Seriously, I know that we are about football here....but if you couldn't enjoy this three game series for all of the drama, effort, and pagentry provided by these collegiate athletes....you are in need of medical attention! hang up, dial 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room
