Abstract Engagement in physical activity, across various sports, promotes a diverse microbiota active individuals. This study examines the gut of Colombian athletes, specifically weightlifters ( n = 16) and road cyclists 13), compared to non‐athletes 15). Using Kruskal–Wallis tests, activity level group non‐athletic individuals sports experience professional athletes is analyzed. The median age participants 24 years, comprising 25 men 19 women. collected using fecal samples. Participants provided these samples during their pre‐competitive stage, concentration phase occurring two weeks prior national competitions. timing chosen capture microbial composition period heightened preparation. Questionnaire responses assessments identify disparities among groups. Microbial analysis explores core microbiome, abundance, taxonomy Pavian, MicrobiomeAnalyst 2.0, GraPhlAn. ANCOM‐BC2 reveals differentially abundant species. Road exhibit decreased Bacteria increased Archaea abundance. Phylum‐level variations included Planctomycetes, Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria, while Bacteroidetes prevailed. Key families influencing are Bacteroidaceae, Muribaculaceae, Selenomonadaceae. Weightlifters unique viral archaeal community connections, showed specialized interplay influenced by endurance exercise. Correlation network emphasizes distinctive interactions within athlete groups, shedding light on impact activities health.
