The article reports on results of a study of the effects of voluntary wheel-running exercise on cecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acid production in rats. A description of the experimental set-up and measurement methods is presented. The study concluded that the alteration of the cecal microbial environment may contribute to the beneficial effect of exercise on gastrointestinal disorders.
