The G/A mutation in SLC2A4 promoter, rs5418, was investigated to assess the relationship between the SLC2A4 gene and aerobic endurance in the muscle uptake of glucose. Genotypic/allelic frequencies of rs5418 in SLC2A4 in 102 top-level long-distance runners (53 men and 49 women) were compared with those of 206 healthy controls (118 men and 88 women) from the same ethnic background (Han Chinese).
