The gut microbiota is home to billions of cells and microorganisms. Microbiota; development of the immune system, nutrition, growth, provision of gut homeostasis, such as important functions have started to attract the attention of researchers in recent years and gradually increased the popularity of this subject. Studies have shown that the guts contain beneficial microorganisms that are active in various mechanisms such as digestive system, metabolism, immune system and neuroendocrine stimulants. On the other hand, the gut microbiome has protective, structural and metabolic functions in the intestinal mucosa.It has been suggested that microbiota may have positive effects on exercise performance in recent years. Although the mechanism that caused it is not yet fully explained, it is thought that the possible activity is the strengthening of the antioxidant enzyme system, the suppression of oxidative stress caused by intense exercise, and the regulation of the energy system used.The curative effects of probiotics on the gut microbiota can indirectly contribute positively to athletic performance. This review is written to examine the effects of probiotic consumption on athletic performance in athletes engaged in endurance sports.
