Brief summary

Gut microbiota comparison of active and sedentary women

Detailed description

Observational study comparing gut microbiota of people who did not practice any physical exercise (sedentary) with the gut microbiota of people who at least practice exercise a minimum of 3 hours per week but they were not professional athletes.
