Abstract(s)
A Atividade Física (AF) tem um importante papel no bem-estar e funcionamento do
corpo humano, conhecendo-se múltiplos benefícios do exercício nos vários aparelhos e
sistemas. Mais recentemente, com a identificação da Microbiota Intestinal (MI) e com o
reconhecimento da sua importância na modulação de vários mecanismos dos diversos
aparelhos e sistemas, colocou-se a hipótese de grande parte dos benefícios da AF ser
exercida de modo indireto, via modulação da MI.
A microbiota são os microrganismos (MO) que compõem uma região específica como,
por exemplo, o intestino, a vagina ou a pele. É um “órgão” descoberto recentemente
que, muitas vezes, é “esquecido” ou “ignorado”, mas que quando se encontra em
equilíbrio, é essencial à promoção da saúde e à prevenção de doenças.
Os estudos existentes começaram a revelar-nos o verdadeiro panorama e constituição
de uma global, dinâmica e saudável microbiota e as vantagens desta na saúde do seu
hospedeiro.
Como a nutrição e o estilo de vida têm cada vez mais relevo, muito mais estudos se
farão no futuro relativamente a este tema, principalmente estudos longitudinais,
estudando a influência de vários fatores a longo prazo na microbiota.
Objetivo e Metodologia
Esta dissertação visou responder à seguinte questão: “De que forma a Atividade Física
consegue modular a Microbiota Intestinal?”. De forma a conseguir obter uma resposta
para esta questão, foi realizada uma revisão de diversos artigos. A pesquisa
bibliográfica desses artigos foi feita nas bases de dados eletrónicas Pubmed e na Google
Scholar, com os seguintes critérios de inclusão: artigos dos últimos 10 anos de
publicação e artigos que se debruçam sobre qualquer tipo de atividade física e que
estabelecem relação com a microbiota intestinal. A pesquisa foi efetuada entre julho de
2022 e janeiro de 2023 e foram selecionados artigos escritos em língua inglesa e
portuguesa.
Resultados
Após a leitura e análise de diversos artigos foram identificadas diversas associações
entre o Exercício Físico e a Microbiota Intestinal, sendo o exercício extremamente benéfico para a saúde microbiana, independentemente da idade dos grupos de estudo e
da metodologia utilizada.
Conclusão
A relação entre estes dois fatores foi comprovada após esta revisão. Trata-se de um
tópico que terá cada vez mais importância no mundo da saúde e do desporto,
possuindo ainda muito conteúdo para explorar.
Physical Activity (PA) plays an important role in the well-being and functioning of the human body, with multiple benefits of exercise being known in various devices and systems. More recently, with the identification of the Intestinal Microbiota (IM) and with the recognition of its importance in the modulation of several mechanisms of the different devices and systems, it was hypothesized that a large part of the benefits of PA be exercised indirectly, via modulation from MI. The microbiota are the microorganisms (OM) that make up a specific region such as, for example, the intestine, vagina or skin. It is a recently discovered “organ” that is often “forgotten” or “ignored”, but which, when in balance, is essential for health promotion and disease prevention. The existing studies began to reveal to us the true panorama and constitution of a global, dynamic and healthy microbiota and the advantages of this in the health of its host. As nutrition and lifestyle are increasingly important, much more research will be done in the future on this topic, mainly longitudinal studies, studying the long-term influence of various factors on the microbiota. Objectives and Methodology This dissertation aimed to answer the following question: “How can Physical Activity modulate the Intestinal Microbiota?”. In order to obtain an answer to this question, a review of several articles was carried out. The bibliographical research of these articles was carried out in the electronic databases Pubmed and Google Scholar, with the following inclusion criteria: articles from the last 10 years of publication and articles that focus on any type of physical activity and that establish a relationship with the microbiota intestinal. The research was carried out between July 2022 and January 2023 and articles written in English and Portuguese were selected. Results After reading and analyzing several articles, several associations were identified between Physical Exercise and the Intestinal Microbiota, with exercise being extremely beneficial for microbial health, regardless of the age of the study groups and the methodology used. Conclusion The relationship between these two factors was proven after this review. This is a topic that will become increasingly important in the world of health and sport, and it still has a lot of content to explore.
