Resistance Training With Milk Supplementation in Adolescents

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Body Composition, Cardiovascular Risk Factors

In brief

The investigators primary objective is to evaluate the effect of a 6 month (3 days/wk) supervised, progressive RT program with increased daily milk intake in untrained adolescents on measures of body composition and cardiovascular risk factors. The investigators hypothesize that milk supplementation will produce significantly greater favorable changes in all body composition measures compared with RT + carbohydrate and control.
