简要总结
The small intestine and feces of subjects undergoing endurance exercise will be sampled to examine their microbiome composition
详细描述
The close relationship between humans and the commensal microbes of their gut microbiota represents vast potential for health maintenance, but most efforts have been focused on disease. Gastrointestinal (GI) problems are very common especially in endurance athletes, and are known to impair performance or subsequent recovery. Moreover, GI symptoms among athletes vary enormously, and some athletes are more prone than others; the links between this variation and the differences in microbiome composition across individuals have not been elucidated. The investigators propose to use a novel, non-invasive sampling technology to quantify the effects of exercise on the GI environment including the small intestines, and aim to establish the potential for dietary interventions to improve recovery from exercise.

入选标准
- •Subjects must meet all of the following criteria to be included in the study:
- •Males or females 18 years of age or older and 70 years of age or younger at the time of the first Screening Visit.
- •ASA Classifications 1 and
- •For women of childbearing potential, negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days of Screening Visit. Willingness to use highly effective contraception during the entire study period (e.g.: implants, injectables, oral contraceptives, intra-uterine device or declared abstinence).
- •Subject is fluent in English and understands the study protocol and informed consent and is willing and able to comply with study requirements and sign the informed consent form. Non-English speakers will not be included in the study because consent forms are in English, and any instructions during exercise will need to be provided in English.
排除标准
- •Subjects with any of the following conditions or characteristics must be excluded from the study:
- •History of any of the following:
- •Prior gastric or esophageal surgery, including lap banding or bariatric surgery
- •Bowel obstruction
- •Gastric outlet obstruction
- •Diverticulitis
- •Inflammatory bowel disease
- •Ileostomy or colostomy
- •Gastric or esophageal cancer
- •Achalasia
- •Esophageal diverticulum
- •Active Dysphagia or Odynophagia
- •Active medication use for any gastrointestinal conditions
- •Pregnancy or planned pregnancy within 30 days from Screening Visit, or breast-feeding
- •Any form of active substance abuse or dependence (including drug or alcohol abuse), unstable medical or psychiatric disorder, or any chronic condition susceptible, in the opinion of the investigator, to interfere with the conduct of the study
- •A clinical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, could potentially pose a health risk to the subject while involved in the study
研究组 & 干预措施
Exercise with microbiome sampling
Participants exercise on a treadmill after swallowing a microbiome sampling capsule. They will then repeat this procedure during controlled cooling of body temperature to prevent increased body temperature during exercise.
