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. Since the hormonal status and gender are factors that influence gut microbiota, this study has been conducted in premenopausal women.
