Research on the gut microbiota and exercise
Research has shown a correlation between intestinal microbiota and exercise, suggesting that the microbiome plays a significant role in athletic performance. The gut microbiome is influenced by various factors, including diet, exercise, and genetics.
However, most studies have focused on the gut microbiome as a single variable and have not investigated the interaction between the main elements of athletic performance: diet, exercise, genetics, and microbiome.
This project aims to fill this gap in knowledge by integrating the effects of each nutritional factor with the type of sport, the individual’s training status, the athlete’s goals, the time of the competitive season, and the athlete’s food preferences.
The project will analyze the gut microbiome and host genetics before and after the implementation of a specific diet and exercise program. The study will monitor dietary fibers, varied protein sources, unsaturated fats, and pre-and probiotics, as these have been shown to have a positive effect on athletic performance and recovery.
By studying the effects of these nutritional factors on the gut microbiome and athletic performance, the project aims to develop dietary plans for athletes to optimize their performance and immune system health.
The gut microbiome plays a significant role in athletic performance, and this project aims to investigate the interaction between diet, exercise, and the microbiome to provide personalized dietary recommendations for athletes.
By understanding the effects of these nutritional factors on the gut microbiome and athletic performance, athletes can make informed dietary choices that can help them achieve their goals.
