Abstract
Limited animal and human research findings suggests that exercise might have a beneficial
role for health gut. Cardiorespiratory fitness correlates with health-associated gut
parameters such as taxonomic diversity and richness. Physical exercise may augment
intestinal microbial diversity through several mechanisms including promotion of an
anti-inflammatory state. Disease-associated microbial functions were linked to distinct
taxa in previous studies of familial type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). An integrated
multi-approach in the study of T1D, including physical exercise, is advocated. The
present review explores how exercise might modulate gut microbiota and microbiome
characteristics in chronic and immune-based diseases, given the demonstrated relationship
between gut function and human health.
