Exercise has the guts: how physical activity may positively modulate gut microbiota in chronic and immune-based diseases

Limited animal and human research findings implied that exercise might have a beneficial role on health gut. Cardiorespiratory fitness has been correlated to health-associated gut parameters such as taxonomic diversity and richness. Physical exercise may augment intestinal microbial diversity through several mechanisms; the promotion of an anti-inflammatory state is one of these. The expression of disease-associated microbial functions was linked to distinct taxa in previous studies of familial type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).
