A bowl of whole-grain cereal is as good as a sports drink for recovery after exercise, according to new research supported by the General Mills Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition.

Researchers at the University of Texas studied 12 trained cyclists, eight men and four women, doing a typical workout. After a warm-up period, the subjects cycled for two hours at a comfortable work rate, rather than the more frequently seen test-to-exhaustion.

"Our goal was to compare whole-grain cereal plus milk -- which are ordinary foods -- and sports drinks after moderate exercise," said exercise physiologist Lynne Kammer, who led the study. She said they were looking to see how the body regained glycogen, which provides energy, and repaired muscle.
