Moderate-intensity continuous training and high-intensity interval training modulate the composition of the oral microbiota of elderly adults: Randomized controlled trial

Joshua Lederberg, a geneticist and Nobel prize laureate in 1958, first coined the term microbiome as a community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic micro-organisms [1]. The microbial colonization of the human body starts before birth, with a primary fetal colonization [2], then, the diversity, stability, and complexity evolves influenced by age, sex, development of the immune system and environmental factors for three years. Afterwards, the microbial colony remains stable in healthy adults and becomes unstable again when elderly.
