What role does LCT play in Sport?

The provided context contains no information about the LCT gene (lactase). Lactase is essential for digesting lactose in dairy. In sports, dairy can be a convenient source of protein, calcium, and carbohydrates, but lactose intolerance (often linked to the LCT-13910 C/T variant) may limit these options. Athletes with intolerance might choose lactose-free products or lactase supplements. However, the evidence for a direct role of LCT in athletic performance is weak and based on general nutrition principles rather than sport-specific genetic studies. Without relevant context, the answer remains conservative: LCT affects lactose tolerance, but its impact on sports performance is not well-established. Safety note: If lactose intolerance is suspected, consult a healthcare professional before making dietary changes.
