The Athlete Gut Microbiome and its Relevance to Health and Performance: A Review

Sports Medicine, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 52(S1), P. 119 - 128

Published: Nov. 18, 2022

Abstract The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that play an important role in health, influencing functions such as vitamin uptake, digestion and immunomodulation. While research the has expanded considerably over past decade, some areas relationship between exercise remain relatively under investigated. Despite this, multiple studies have shown potential bidirectional microbiome, with demonstrating possibility this relationship. This, turn, could provide useful route to influence athletic performance via manipulation, valuable prospect for many elite athletes their teams. evidence supporting benefits pursuing associated future perspectives are discussed review.

Microbiota Effect on Trimethylamine N-Oxide Production: From Cancer to Fitness—A Practical Preventing Recommendation and Therapies

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 563 - 563

Published: Jan. 21, 2023

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a microbial metabolite derived from nutrients, such as choline, L-carnitine, ergothioneine and betaine. Recently, it has come under the spotlight for its close interactions with gut microbiota implications gastrointestinal cancers, cardiovascular disease, systemic inflammation. The culprits in origin of these pathologies may be food sources, particular, high fat meat, offal, egg yolk, whole dairy products, fatty fish, but intercalated between sources production pro-inflammatory TMAO, composition plays an important role modulating this process. aim review to explain how interacts conversion specific compounds into TMA oxidation TMAO. We will first cover correlation TMAO various dysbiosis, then focus on particular emphasis pro-atherogenic factors, inflammation cancers. Finally, we discuss primary prevention therapies that are or become possible. Possible treatments include modulation species diets, physical activity supplements, administration drugs, metformin aspirin.

Epithelial barrier theory in the context of nutrition and environmental exposure in athletes

Allergy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 79(11), P. 2912 - 2923

Published: July 16, 2024

Exposure to toxic substances, introduced into our daily lives during industrialization and modernization, can disrupt the epithelial barriers in skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, leading microbial dysbiosis inflammation. Athletes physically active individuals are at increased risk of exposure agents that damage microbiome, their extreme physical exercise exerts stress on many organs, resulting tissue Epithelial barrier-damaging substances include surfactants enzymes cleaning products, laundry dishwasher detergents, chlorine swimming pools, microplastics, air pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, diesel exhaust. Athletes' high-calorie diet often relies processed foods may contain food emulsifiers other additives cause barrier dysfunction dysbiosis. The type material used sport equipment clothing extensive increase inflammatory effects. Excessive travel-related stress, sleep disturbances different microbe represent additional factors. Here, we review detrimental impact microbiome; bring a new perspective factors affecting health performance athletes individuals.

Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 Improves Physiological Adaptation and Performance in Triathletes through Gut Microbiota Modulation

Nutrients, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 12(8), P. 2315 - 2315

Published: Aug. 1, 2020

A triathlon is an extremely high-intensity exercise and a challenge for physiological adaptation. triathlete’s microbiome might be modulated by diet, age, medical treatments, lifestyle, exercise, thereby maintaining aerobiosis optimum health performance. Probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics have been reported to health-promoting activities (e.g., immunoregulation cancer prevention). However, few studies addressed how probiotics affect the microbiota of athletes this translates into functional activities. In our previous study, we found that Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 could ameliorate inflammation oxidative stress, with improved Thus, here investigate triathletes are altered L. supplementation, not only performance but also possible The were assigned two groups: 128 supplement group (LG, 3 × 1010 colony-forming units (CFU)/day) placebo (PG). Both groups continued their regular training next 4 weeks. endurance performance, body composition, biochemistries, blood cells, microbiota, associated metabolites further investigated. significantly increased athletes’ endurance, about 130% as compared PG group, there was no significant difference in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) composition between groups. supplementation (LG) athlete’s both decreases (Anaerotruncus, Caproiciproducens, Coprobacillus, Desulfovibrio, Dielma, Family_XIII, Holdemania, Oxalobacter) increases (Akkermansia, Bifidobacterium, Butyricimonas, Lactobacillus), LG showed lower diversity when PG. Also, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs; acetate, propionate, butyrate) higher than PG, which result modulation microbiota. conclusion, improvement on running through related metabolites, uptake.
