Prevotella abundance is significantly correlated to exercise load and a number of KEGG pathways. a Box plot showing the average abundance of Prevotella in the gut microbiomes of cyclists who reported either 6–10, 11–15, 16–20, or 20+ hours of exercise per week. Fisher’s exact test was used to determine that cyclists who exercised >11 h/week were more likely to have ≥2.5% Prevotella (p = 0.0026). b Histogram showing significant positive (green) or negative (red) correlations between abundance of Prevotella and abundance of KEGG pathways. Correlations were calculated using Spearman’s rank (p < 0.05)
