Strengthen Your Athletes’ Recovery Routine with Milk and the NBA

When it comes to performing at the highest level, an athlete's post-game recovery routine is just as important as their pre-game prep. Experts suggest there's a two-hour recovery window—the best time to refuel and rehydrate your body to keep it in top shape and help you get back in the game.
To arm you with the latest post-exercise recovery techniques and explain the body of science behind muscle recovery, the got milk? Body By Milk Campaign has teamed up with the NBA to provide sports educators with FREE Recovery Tools.
