Exercise significantly increases gut microbiota diversity, particularly the Shannon index, in individuals with obesity and T2D.
Combined exercise has greater benefits on gut microbiota compared to aerobic exercise alone, especially in younger individuals.
Meta-analysis included 19 studies with over 1000 participants, focusing on various alpha-diversity indices.
Future research should explore personalized exercise strategies for optimizing gut health in obesity and T2D.
