Effect of an Exercise Bout in Plasma and Fecal Profile (MEMEX)

June 18, 2020 updated by: Mar Larrosa, Universidad Europea de Madrid

Exploring the Effect of Exhaustive Exercise From a Metabolomic and Metagenomic Approach

The aim of this project is to study the effect of a bout of exercise on the metabolomic profile of plasma and feces as well as its influence on the intestinal microbiota.

Detailed Description

The practice of physical exercise has numerous health benefits, preventing the appearance and development of cardiovascular diseases and various types of cancer. Exercise causes changes in the vascular, muscular and pulmonary systems, etc. One of the benefits that can result from exercise modification of the intestinal microbiota and its metabolic profile. In order to identify the potential changes that exercise has on the intestinal microbiota and its metabolic profile, the purpose of this study is to identify changes in the plasma and fecal metabolome and in fecal microbiota associated with a bout of exercise

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Intervention group
Participants will exert an exercise prolonged session
Other: Prolonged Exercise session
After a standardized warm-up of 10 minutes of continuous running on a treadmill at 60% of their maximum heart rate (HRmax), subjects will perform a maximum oxygen consumption test (VO2max) with a gas analyzer (UltimaTM Series, MGC Diagnostic Corporation, St. Paul, MN, USA. The protocol will start with a slope of 1% at a speed of 10 km/h, with increments of 0.3 km/h every 30 s until volitional exhaustion. Finally, ten minutes after the treadmill test, volunteers will run 1 kilometer (t1km) as fast as possible and the time needed to cover the distance will be recorded.
