ABSTRACT Background Regular physical activity (PA) is vital for proper organ functions including the gut. Despite existing research, it remains unclear how gut microbiome affected by different intensities of PA, and other lifestyle factors influence this relationship. Here we study relation between PA intensity composition function in a large Lifelines Dutch Microbiome Project dataset. Methods A cross-sectional design was performed on 5409 adults aged 40 to 60 from community-based all these participants metagenomic shotgun data available. Participants were categorized into sedentary (N=2501), moderate (N=1915), vigorous (N=993) groups, based self-reported levels. We investigated association microbial diversity, bacterial species, metabolic pathways multiple regression models sequentially adjusted covariates age/sex, BMI, stool consistency diet quality/alcohol intake. Results Vigorous but not significantly associated with higher alpha diversity (i.e., species richness, Shannon Simpson diversity) as compared PA. Compared group, group showed lower abundance Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus (β = −0.003, p 0.042), even after extensive covariate adjustments correction testing. Other initially also they disappeared adjusting resulting loss significance.
