Int J Environ Res Public Health
February 2022
Participation by female athletes in competitive sport has increased dramatically since the inception of Title IX, although female athletes are represented significantly less than their male counterparts in strength and conditioning (S&C) literature. This is apparent when examining current identified trends in the field, such as implementation of blood flow restriction (BFR) training, functional assessments to predict injuries, or the ever-increasing use of technology in sports. The aim of this review is to examine three prevalent trends in contemporary S&C literature as they relate to female athletes in order to expose areas lacking in research.

- * Fecal samples were analyzed before, during, and after the exercise intervention using advanced sequencing methods, and various fitness metrics were measured.
- * Findings showed that while cardiorespiratory exercise led to temporary changes in the gut microbiome, these changes did not persist after the intervention, whereas resistance training did not cause any observable effects on the microbiome at all.
