Effects of Resistance Training With Milk Supplementation on Body Composition in Middle School Children
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.
We will recruit 150 healthy, adolescent middle school boys and girls (grades 7 through 9),
BMI > 50th percentile < 98th percentile, who will participate in 6 months of supervised
resistance training (3 days/wk) and will be randomized to one of 3 groups: RT + milk, RT +
isocaloric carbohydrate, RT only (control). Both physical activity and diet outside the
study protocol will be carefully monitored. Measurements will be completed at baseline 3
months and upon completion of the training protocol at 6 months.
