Microbiome Health in Youth Sports: Building Resilient Bodies from the Inside Out
Microbiome Health in Youth Sports: Building Resilient Bodies from the Inside Out Microbiome health is characterized by increased microbial diversity and abundance as well as greater phenotypic versatility. Physical activity & microbiota composition have bidirectional effects. With regular physical activity, improving microbial composition enhances physical performance. This is proved by multiple studies, hence it cannot be denied that this relationship between exercise and gut microbiome is the real influence. It can provide a useful route to influence athletic performance via microbiome manipulation.
