About this trial

This study will evaluate the effects of consuming dairy milk versus two plant-based beverages (pea-based, and almond-based) after resistance training sessions (3 times per week for 12 months) on bone properties (bone mineral density, bone geometry), body composition, strength, and functional performance in post-menopausal women and men 50y and older.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Women need to be postmenopausal (no age limit)

Men need to be 50y or older

Disqualifiers

Taking medications that might affect bone

Conditions that might preclude participating in a resistance-training program (determined by the "Get Active Questionnaire").

Planning 6 weeks of travel during the 12 month intervention period

Planning major surgery during the 12 month intervention period
