Schematic representation of characteristic microbial clades and metabolic activities with a higher representation in the microbiota of athletes across different disciplines as well as sedentary adults exposed to exercise regime. *Microbial taxa showing significantly higher abundances in the microbiota of athletes or sedentary participants exposed to exercise regime compared to sedentary controls.
