Experimental designs to assess the exercise-capacity and physiological-adaption effects on gnotobiotic animals. The GF animals were randomly assigned, inoculated, and colonized with the indicated 4 groups (GF, E. rectale, L. plantarum TWK10, and C. coccoides). Fecal samples were regularly analyzed and the physical capacities and related biochemistries were assessed within the test duration. The metabolic phenotype, body compositions, and glycogen were measured at the end of study. Supp., supplementation.
