Variation in the intestinal microbiota of male athletes after race and probiotic supplementation.
| Control | Race | Probiotics | Variation rate (C vs R) | Variation rate (C vs P) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firmicutes | 76.92 % | 74.62 % | 77.72 % | −2.99 % | 1.04 % |
| Bacteroidetes | 16.92 % | 10.55 % | 15.28 % | −37.66 % | −9.72 % |
| Proteobacteria | 4.17 % | 13.25 % | 2.65 % | 217.35 % | −36.52 % |
| Actinobacteria | 1.91 % | 1.52 % | 4.34 % | −20.33 % | 127.03 % |
| Others | 0.07 % | 0.06 % | 0.01 % | −15.19 % | −88.05 % |
Note: ‘Control’, ‘Race’, and ‘Probiotics’ represent the percentage of the corresponding phylum to the total microbiota in each group, respectively; ‘Variation rate (C vs R)’ represents the relative rate of change of the corresponding phylum to the total microbiota after the race; and ‘Variation rate (C vs P)’ represents the relative rate of change of the corresponding phylum to the total microbiota after probiotics supplementation.
