Abstract: Gut microbiota refers to the vast and diverse community of microorganisms residing in the intestines.Factors such as genetics,environmental influences(e.g.,exercise,diet),and early life experiences(e.g.,infant feeding methods)can all affect the ecological balance of gut microbiota within the body.Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is associated with extra-intestinal diseases such as Parkinson's syndrome,osteoporosis,and autoimmune diseases,suggesting that disturbances in gut microbiota may be one of the causes of these diseases.Exercise benefits various diseases,with gut microbiota playing a role in regulating the nervous,musculoskeletal,and immune systems.Gut microbiota can impact the body's health status through the gut-brain axis,gut-muscle axis,and immune pathways.Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can increase the quantity of gut microbiota and change microbial abundance,although short-term exercise does not significantly affect the alpha diversity of the microbiota.Resistance exercise also does not have a significant regulatory effect on gut microbiota.
