I was at an EU Research convention the other day and I was talking to a dehydration specialist and he had some interesting things to say, one which I found surprising. He said that the best thing you can drink to rehydrate yourself after a game is skimmed milk. He says your body will absorb it a lot better and quicker than any of the isotonic drinks that are out there on the market. Am waiting on Lucozade milk to hit the shelves .)
i find the best re-hydration solution is to get some robinsons diluten juice, preferably the barley stuff, add to an equal amount of water and add a pinch of salt!!
I find a litre of water with a sachet of Dioralyte is the business.

i am going to the gym tonight so will give it a go and let you know, though i am assuming that you should not drink any water before during of after the session to really see the benefits?

St Pauls, what are the good gyms to sign up for around Belfast? I am now working up in Belfast and was thinking about joining one.
I drink a pint of skimmed milk every night, including when I return from training and find it very good for the old rehydration.
One pint will do nicely, whereas with water you may get thirsty soon after the first pint after training.
DD12, the gym i am with is actually in Holywood, and is £32 a month, which isn't to bad for full access to the gym and the classes the leisure centre runs, as well as access to the swimming pool and health suite in Bangor. i know a guy who is paying £52 a month to use the samr facilities in Esporta.
I honestly couldn't tell you any other prices or quality of gyms in belfast as i never checked but there are a few different outlets around the city so shop around as they say!
Cheers St Pauls, was thinking about LA fitness on Adelaide street as it would be nice & close and handy. Think it works out at 35 bucks a month. I heard that Biffy Tech students are able to get membership for £10.00 a month as they are entering the Sigerson or something the year! Now thats value for money!!
I would try it but I live in Spain and the milk here is rotten. :(
Plus it would involve some sort of exercise:)

This is based on a study at Loughborough University where they compared it with water and powerade. It'll need a bit more research before it's conclusive though.
If its for real it will kill all those sports drinks.
Not unless they package the milk differently.
DirtyDozen12,
If you have a car the gym out at Jordanstown Uni to do good price. Its £50 for the year for non-students and then £2 every time you use the fitness suite. Its handy for me cause I'm out there twice a week for evening classes.
Only thing is they don't have a swimming pool but the gym is top class - just been done up this summer.
My mate is a member in the Spirit one above the Holiday Inn. He says its good too. Paying about £35 a month I think and only had to sign up for 6 months.
Only thing is TYP, it is not very busy out at Jordanstown...dont like having to wait about on machines and weights...also there also the embarressemnt of trying to lift weights your not fit for and making an arse of yourself in front of a crowd of people :D
Its not too bad at all I think - from 4 to 5.30 or so on a Monday and Wednesday is my time.
The bonus thing is that when it does get a bit busy there's always a few young females to have a look at!! ;)

For the record, skimmed milk sucks...its as viscous as water >:(
The way i see it fat = taste
shit, just realised it was skimmed that we were talking about, not semi skimmed!! oops! i will not be using that method of hydration, my own piss would probably taste better!!

Common sports drinks such as Gatorade supply those carbs, as well as fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat. However, more recent research suggests that adding protein to the mix may further hasten recovery. Hence the new wave of drinks such as Endurox R4 that include protein as well as higher doses of carbs.
In the study, nine male cyclists rode until their muscles were depleted of energy, then rested four hours and biked again until exhaustion. During the rest period, the cyclists drank low-fat chocolate milk, Gatorade, or Endurox R4. During a second round of exercise, the cyclists who drank the chocolate milk were able to bike about 50% longer than those who drank Endurox, and about as long as those who drank the Gatorade.
The findings suggest that chocolate milk has an optimal ratio of carbohydrates to protein to help refuel tired muscles, according to researcher Joel M. Stager, PhD, Indiana University kinesiology professor
i think i'll go for that instead, cheers puckoon! will have to remember to stop at tesco's on the way home. ;D
Remember it has to be skimmed-chocolate milk though. ;D

Skimmed is 1% fat ?
Quote from: Gnevin on October 24, 2007, 04:45:18 PM
Skimmed is 1% fat ?
Sometimes even less:

Skimmed milk
This is the one for people who are following a low-fat diet, as only a trace (0.3 per cent) remains. Even so, skimmed milk is still highly nutritious and is an excellent source of calcium, and contains everything that whole and semi-skimmed milk has but without the fat. It can be used in all recipes requiring milk, but obviously won't give the same degree of creaminess.
I dont know why people would drink this piss when it has all the same quailties as whole milk, whihc is much more tasty :)

Over here skimmed milk is 0% fat. 1% fat is what I drink. Whole milk over here is 2%.

Sure tis like having side salad with your chips or a diet coke with a jumbo sausage supper.
Mrs Puckoon likes the strawberries. The lettuce bugged me more than the berries.
In the future will clubs bring their own cow to the county final to cut down on expenses!!!!!!!!!

The one failing control experiment in the above study according to the researcher quoted above, was that its impossible to rule out a placebo effect of these sports drinks, as they didnt have a control group who just drank water.

? Whole milk is something closer to 4%, 2% milk in the US is about the same as semi-skimmed at home.

They did in the Loughborough study though (the one with skimmed milk as opposed to chocolate milk).
Good for the teeth and bones too. Canadian Ricey McMenamin is obviously a devout milk drinker. That's another job you never read in the match programme. Milkman.
