Bodybuilding and milk
University in Canada, in a review of the literature, that low-fat milk enhances healing of weight training and exercise endurance, stimulates protein synthesis, and promotes post-exercise tissue repair.

Milk may be the best, because it keeps the water balance for a longer period and provides a source of protein that can promote adaptation and tissue repair after exercise. Low-fat milk is an excellent sports drink for endurance sports, except in people who are lactose intolerant.
