Abstract
Gut microbes consist of diversified tiny microorganism having numerous physiological functioning and responsible for maintaining homeostasis and health of an individual. Because of dynamic property of microbes, these microbes can be modified, manipulated or altered to get desired results. Human, microbiota and environment forms triangular association in which exercise is one of the important environmental factor responsible for altering the microbial composition inside the gut. Recent researches suggest that regular physical activity has been shown to be one of the most important lifestyle stimuli which boost the number of favourable microbial composition and improve the diversity of microbes which is ultimately responsible for improving performance by providing required energy, delay in fatigue and improvement in lactic acid breakdown process. Therefore, the aim of this study to understand the role of physical activity and diet as a part of the environmental factor in altering the gut microbial diversity and their effect on health and performance of an individual.
