Studies describing changes in intestinal microbiota have stated that physical activity could increase the microbial variance and enhance the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes, and both actions could neutralize the obesity progression and diminish body weight. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature describing the relationship between physical activity profiles and gut microbiota and in obesity and some associated comorbidities. Promoting physical activity could support as a treatment to maintain the gut microbiota composition or to restore the balance toward an improvement of dysbiosis in obesity; however, these mechanisms need to be studied in more detail. The opportunity to control the microbiota by physical activity to improve health results and decrease obesity and related comorbidities is very attractive. Nevertheless, several incompletely answered questions need to be addressed before this strategy can be implemented.}, organization = {ANID BECAS Chile/72180543}, organization = {Agencia Estatal de Investigación-Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación}, organization = {National Agency for Research and Development}, organization = {University of Granada}, organization = {Fundación Alfonso Martín Escudero}, organization = {Fundación Ramón Areces}, organization = {Agencia Estatal de Investigación IJC2020-042739-I}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Gut microbiota}, keywords = {Physical activity}, keywords = {Health}, keywords = {Obesity}, keywords = {Children}, keywords = {Humans}, keywords = {Non-communicable diseases}, title = {Impact of Exercise on Gut Microbiota in Obesity}, doi = {10.3390/nu13113999}, author = {Aragón Vela, Jerónimo and Solís Urra, Patricio and Ruiz Ojeda, Francisco Javier and Álvarez Mercado, Ana Isabel and Olivares Arancibia, Jorge and Plaza Díaz, Julio}, }
