摘要:Background: Physical activity and nutrition are essential for the prevention and treatment ofmany diseases. This study examined the effects of combining daily milk supplementation and anaerobic exercise routine on physical fitness indicators in adolescent girls.Methods: The study randomly assigned 83 17-year-old girls into four groups: milk only, exerciseonly, both milk and exercise, and control groups. The interventions involved drinking 500 mL oflow-fat milk daily and engaging in a 1-h step aerobics exercise routine 3 times/week for 12weeks. VO2max, countermovement jump height and average power, and squat jump height weremeasured before and after the intervention.Results: Participants in the combined and exercise only groups had significant improvements inthe measured parameters after the intervention compared with participants in the control andmilk only groups. No difference in any of the parameters was found between the combined andexercise only groups.Conclusion: The 12-week step aerobics exercise program had positive effects on muscle powerand cardiovascular fitness of adolescent girls, while milk did not provide any additionalimprovements.
