Summary

Gut microbiota are all microorganisms including bacteria and microscopic eukaryotes that live in the digestive tracts of humans or mammals. During the last decade, some authors highlighted that a link exists between gut microbiota and sport performance. In this project, we hypothesize that gut microbiota is able to adapt to the energy needs of the body, really higher in top-level athletes or considerably lower in inactive individuals. In this context, this clinical study aims to characterize the bacterial metagenome of gut microbiota from populations located in a continuum from sedentary people to top-level athletes with high (i.e. soccer players), even very high energy needs (i.e. cyclists). The finality of this project is thus to determine if it exists some bacterial profile allowing to characterize, even to predict, the energy metabolism of an athlete and so the probability to be performant in competition.

Conditions

  • Elite Cyclists
  • Elite Soccer Players
  • Sedentary Behavior

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Maximal incremental exercise test

Gas exchanges are measured during all the test on ergocycle until oxygen consumption reach its maximum value

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Submaximal exercise test

A 25-min submaximal exercise test on ergocycle under fasting condition. Gas exchanges are measured during all the test.
