Exercise positively influences the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in the gut, which are crucial for maintaining gut health. SCFAs, such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are produced by the fermentation of dietary fibers by beneficial gut bacteria. These compounds serve as a primary energy source for colon cells, strengthen the gut barrier, and possess anti-inflammatory properties. Regular physical activity enhances the abundance and activity of SCFA producing bacteria, thereb
