## Background: Recently, gut microbiota have been studied extensively for health promotion, disease prevention, disease treatment, and exercise performance. it is recommended that athletes avoid dietary fiber and resistant starch to promote gastric emptying and reduce gastrointestinal distress during exercise, but this diet may reduce microbial diversity and compromise the health of the athlete's gut microbiota. ## Objective: This study compared fecal microbiota characteristics using high-throughput sequencing among healthy sedentary men (as controls), bodybuilders, and distance runners, as well as the relationships between microbiota characteristics, body composition, and nutritional status. ## Methods: Body composition was measured using dxa, and physical activity level was assessed using ipaq. dietary intake was analyzed with the computerized nutritional evaluation program. the dna of fecal samples was extracted and it was sequenced for the analysis of gut microbial diversity through bioinformatics cloud platform. ## Results: We showed that exercise type was associated with athlete diet patterns (bodybuilders: high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate, and low dietary fiber diet;
