Variation in the intestinal microbiota of female athletes after race and probiotic supplementation.
| Control | Race | Probiotics | Variation rate (C vs R) | Variation rate (C vs P) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Firmicutes | 76.91 % | 74.02 % | 44.69 % | −3.76 % | −41.89 % |
| Bacteroidetes | 10.83 % | 8.14 % | 18.76 % | −24.78 % | 73.29 % |
| Proteobacteria | 4.90 % | 14.82 % | 19.37 % | 202.27 % | 295.06 % |
| Actinobacteria | 7.32 % | 2.92 % | 17.16 % | −60.18 % | 134.41 % |
| Others | 0.04 % | 0.10 % | 0.01 % | 153.06 % | −69.10 % |
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.
