The polymorphism T1470A of the SLC16A1 gene is associated with the lactate and ventilatory thresholds but not with fat oxidation capacity in young men.

Independently of cardiorespiratory fitness, the A1470T polymorphism is associated to blood lactate accumulation and its associated ventilatory response during submaximal intensity exercise. However, the A1470 polymorphism does not influence fat oxidation capacity during exercise in young men.
