American scientists representing the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign say that sports and physical education have a positive effect on the work of the intestine. A scientific article was published on the pages of Medicine Science in Sports Exercise and the journal Gut Microbes.

The study was divided into two stages. The first involved rodents with a sterile intestine, which was transplanted with fecal microbiomas. They were obtained from mice with different levels of activity. In experimental subjects who received microorganisms from their colleagues with high physical activity, there was an improvement in the healthy state of the intestine.

The second stage of the scientific work involved women with different weight categories. For six weeks they were engaged in cardio-loading, in the next 1.5 months, sports events stopped. It was found that the physical load provoked an increase in the concentration of butyric acid, which is necessary for effective digestion of food. It also prevents the spread of pathogens.
