What to watch with Mikrobiom Test and Sport?

A microbiome test can provide clues about gut health relevant to athletes – such as diversity, pro-inflammatory bacteria, or short-chain fatty acid production. However, evidence for direct sport-specific markers in consumer tests is weak. Studies show endurance exercise can increase microbial diversity, but individual predictions are uncertain. The test does not measure acute performance or recovery time. Be aware that the test is not diagnostic and results are confounded by diet, stress, and training status. It is best used alongside professional nutritional coaching, not as a standalone guide. Evidence grade: human-moderate (general associations, no specific sports markers).
