Abstract
Change in gut microbiome diversity (the so-called dysbiosis) is correlated with insulin
resistance conditions. Exercise is typically the first management for people with type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM), which is generally well-known for improving glucose regulation. The new prebiotics and probiotics, like synbiotics, designed to target specific diseases, require additional studies.
While the effectiveness of exercise combined with synbiotics seems promising, this review discusses these agents’ possibility of increasing the gut microbiota’s diversity. Therefore, they could enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). In particular, the synbiotic interaction on gut microbiota, the
exercise mechanism in improving gut microbiota, and the prospect of the synergistic effect of the
combination of synbiotic and exercise to improve insulin sensitivity are addressed.
