First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how being physically fit changes the bacteria in your gut. Researchers will compare the gut microbes of 30 healthy men, from inactive to elite athletes, by testing their exercise capacity and analyzing stool samples. The goal is to find connections between fitness levels and gut health, which could help understand how exercise supports a healthy digestive system.
