The gut microbiota influences sports performance and resilience after physical exercise. Also, practicing moderate exercise on a regular basis results in a healthier bacterial composition and, therefore, better physical and mental health.
Increasing evidence suggests that imbalanced gut microbiota may play a role in insulin resistance in Type 2 Diabetes patients and exercise has shown to have positive effects on the gut microbiome and metabolism.
Gut microbiome inhabitants and their metabolites are involved in our unique response to exercise

The fact that a universal diet works for everyone is beginning to be considered as a simplistic approach. New findings in subjects with prediabetes suggest that our gut microbiome might also play a role in our unique response to exercise.

The management of IBD isn’t straightforward. Here, Natasha Haskey and colleagues update the most current evidence for the adjunctive role of diet, physical activity/exercise and psychotherapy in maintaining remission in IBD.
A large number of scientific studies suggest that many of the health advantages and benefits that come from practicing sports could be down to the changes in and the functional capacity of the gut microbiota.
New insights regarding the mechanisms by which physical exercise may play a beneficial role in a healthy gut

A new review explores mechanisms involved in gut microbiome modulation through exercise.
New research adds to evidence that exercise can change gut microbial composition independent of diet

A new study has found that exercise training induces both compositional and functional changes in the human gut microbiota.
A recent study, led by Dr. Deanna L. Gibson from the Department of Biology at the University of British Columbia (Canada), has found that cardiorespiratory fitness is correlated with increased microbial diversity and increased production of faecal butyrate in healthy humans.
