Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Exercise and Milk Group: Participants assigned to the exercise and milk group will begin a 12-week structured exercise program. In addition to exercise training, participants in the exercise and milk group will consume 2 servings of 1% MF milk (1 serving = 250 mL) on non-training days and 3 servings on training days, integrated into their habitual diets. Nutritional guidance from a registered dietitian will be provided to help manage increases in total daily energy expenditure from training, and increased energy intake from milk consumption.
Exercise and Greek Yogurt Group: All procedures in the exercise and GY treatment group will be identical to the exercise and milk group, except for what dairy product is consumed. Exercise and GY participants will consume 3 servings of plain or flavoured GY (1 serving = 175 g) on training days, and 2 servings of GY on non-training days.
Exercise Only Group: All procedures in the exercise only treatment will be identical to the exercise and milk/yogurt groups, except for the dietary component. Participants in the exercise only group will be instructed to maintain their habitual low dairy diets. Nutritional guidance will still be provided to help manage increases in total daily energy expenditure from training.
