This study will evaluate the effects of consuming dairy milk versus two plant-based beverages (pea-based, and almond-based) after resistance training sessions (3 times per week for 12 months) on bone properties (bone mineral density, bone geometry), body composition, strength, and functional performance in post-menopausal women and men 50y and older.Read full original descriptionShow less
Dairy Versus Plant-based Beverages Combined With Resistance-training for Improving Bone Health
This study will evaluate the effects of consuming dairy milk versus two plant-based beverages (pea-based, and almond-based) after resistance training sessions (3 times per week for 12 months) on bone properties (bone mineral density, bone geometry), body composition, strength, and functional performance in post-menopausal women and men 50y and older.
Inclusion: Women need to be postmenopausal (no age limit); Men need to be 50y or older.
Exclusion: Taking medications that might affect bone; Planning major surgery during the 12 month intervention period; Conditions that might preclude participating in a resistance-training program (determined by the "Get Active Questionnaire"); Allergies to ingredients in the beverages; Planning 6 weeks of travel during the 12 month intervention period; Already strength training greater than 2 days per week for 30 minutes or longer per session.
