ABOUT THE PROJECT

This project is aimed at acquiring knowledge about the relationship between diet (what we eat and how we eat it), physical exercise and health. For this purpose, we have analysed the physical variables of a group of elite sportspeople and studied the composition of the intestinal microbiota as a factor that interacts with the diet and influences our health.

The Gastrosportómica project seeks to produce knowledge that in the future can enable us to adapt the recommendations of diets and menus to the needs and characteristics of this group of people with the aim of optimising their health and therefore, their athletic performance.
