Combined probiotics with vitamin D₃ supplementation improved aerobic performance and gut microbiome composition in mixed martial arts athletes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is characterized as an interval sport in which the training program focuses on enhancing both aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Therefore, strategies targeting the intestinal microbiome may be beneficial for MMA athletes. Moreover, vitamin D supplementation may amplify the positive effects of certain bacterial strains. We previously demonstrated that the combined of probiotics and vitamin D₃ supplementation improved the lactate utilization ratio, total work, and average power achieved during anaerobic tests in MMA. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether combined probiotic and vitamin D₃ ingestion can modify the composition of the gut microbiome and epithelial cell permeability, influence the inflammatory respon
