Physical Activity Level and Gut Microbiome

Physical activity (PA) has been linked to improvements in metabolic health and gut microbiota composition. However, evidence connecting physical activity level (PAL) with the microbial metabolic potential in adults remains limited, particularly in South American populations. This study investigates the association between PAL and gut microbiota composition in 233 Chilean adults using 16S rRNA V4 sequencing and functional inference via Gut Metabolic Modules (GMM).
