	Purpose
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The aim of this study was to investigate the association of rs6598964 (A &amp;gt; G), a molecular marker located in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;LIN28A&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;gene, with the performance of Brazilian soccer players using the VO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;max predicted by performance in the Yo-Yo test as the phenotype.
&lt;/p&gt;

	Methods
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	The study sample comprised 227 male players on a team in the first division of Brazilian soccer distributed in the following categories: U15 (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 67, VO2max = 52.75 ± 4.74&amp;nbsp;ml/kg/min), U17 (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 43, VO2max = 54.37 ± 5.47&amp;nbsp;ml/kg/min), U20 (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 79, VO2max = 54.97 ± 5.13&amp;nbsp;ml/kg/min), and Professional (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 38, VO2max = 55.84 ± 4.37&amp;nbsp;ml/kg/min). Genotype models (codominance, A-recessive, A-dominant and overdominance models) were tested using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons tests.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-test=&quot;abstract-sub-heading&quot;&gt;
	Results
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Significantly higher predicted VO2max was observed in individuals with the A/A genotype (VO2max = 62.12 ± 3.97&amp;nbsp;mL/kg/min) compared to both the A/G (53.44 ± 8.88&amp;nbsp;mL/kg/min) and G/G (52.44 ± 6.11&amp;nbsp;mL/kg/min) genotypes (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &amp;lt; 0.001). Model comparisons suggested the differences in predicted VO2max were best explained by the A-recessive model.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 data-test=&quot;abstract-sub-heading&quot;&gt;
	Conclusion
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	This study is the first to associate the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;LIN28A&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;polymorphism with endurance performance in soccer players. However, further studies are needed to confirm the associations described here and to investigate how&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;LIN28A&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;interacts with other genes related to athletic performance.
