Özet
<p>The recent research shows that chocolate milk one hour after physical activity, can help replenish exhausted muscles and significantly help their recovery after exercises. During the exercise, the muscles consume the available energy, so it should be put in place again at the end of the activity. At this point, chocolate milk provides carbohydrates for the metabolism as a replenishment to muscles which is very important to prepare the body to be ready for the next exercise and performance and also very important to repair the injuries of the muscles.</p><p>In this review article, we will try to explain the effect of low-fat chocolate milk in order to repair the damaged muscle and to accelerate the recovery process of muscle injuries that had occurred after a tough workout.

Low-fat chocolate milk with its high water content replaces lost fluids during sweating so it prevents from dehydration. In addition, it contains calcium and just a little sodium and sugar that help recovering of athletes and keep the fluids and regain energy. As we mentioned, low-fat chocolate milk may be a proper sports recovery drink.</p>
