– Granada ´exporta´ a Vigo su sistema de medición del ruido

La empresa danesa Bruël y Kjaer fabricará los sonómetros de la capital gallega como ya hizo para el diseño del mapa acústico granadino.

El sistema de medición de ruido en las calles de Granada está creando escuela y servirá para controlar la contaminación acústica de otras capitales españolas como Vigo. La concejal de Medio Ambiente de esta ciudad gallega, María Jesús Lago, se reunió la semana pasada con los responsables de la empresa Bruël y Kjaer, la misma que fabricó los aparatos para la capital granadina.

El Ayuntamiento vigués mantendrá durante esta semana un nuevo encuentro con estos proveedores con la idea de instalar estos aparatos que ya funcionan en las calles granadinas en el centro de Vigo, ciudad que está ultimando su mapa de ruidos. En Galicia pretenden hacer los datos accesibles a los ciudadanos y que éstos puedan consultarlos, por ejemplo, para decidirse a la hora de comprar una vivienda dependiendo del nivel de ruido de la zona donde esté. El Ayuntamiento de Granada expuso el mapa de ruidos de la capital la pasada primavera.

El estudio fue realizado por la Universidad de Granada basándose en los datos de estos sonómetros diseñados por esta empresa danesa, líder en el sector, que ahora exporta sus aparatos también a Vigo. Los resultados en Granada fueron diferentes dependiendo del distrito. En una de cada cinco calles de la capital se exceden los 65 decibelios, umbral máximo recomendado por la ley vigente. El barrio más silencioso es el Albaicín y el más ruidoso el Beiro.

Spanish Study Shows Smoking-Sport Link

– Spanish Study Shows Smoking-Sport Link

Spanish researchers say they have found a direct relation between sports and cutting adolescent tobacco usage.

Samplings of 3,000 adolescents ages 13 to 18 found 80 percent of those who played a sport did not smoke. This compared to 71.4 percent of physically inactive adolescents, reported researchers of the University of Granada, the Spanish National Research Council, the Universities of Murcia, Zaragoza and Cantabria and the Nuestra Senora de la Consolacion School of Granada. Their findings, summarized in a press release, are being published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria.

Their percentages reportedly compared with similar studies of adolescents done in the United States. In the Spanish scientists opinion, results show the importance of promoting physical activity and eradicating tobacco consumption among youth as part of dealing with obesity, diabetes, coronary disease, osteoporosis and cancer. As physical activity decreases among adolescents as they get older, tobacco consumption increases, researchers said. (c) UPI

– 80 percent of adolescents into sports dont smoke
Argentina Star

Eight out of 10 adolescents taking part in sports activities dont smoke, according to a new study in Spain.

The study linking tobacco consumption and sports, based on a survey of 3,000 students between 13 and 18, was carried out by the University of Granada, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the universities of Murcia, Zaragoza and Cantabria, and the Nuestra Senora de la Consolacion School of Granada.

The survey, published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria, showed that 80 percent of the Spanish adolescents who play a game do not smoke.

But it also showed that over 40 percent of the adolescents do not practise any physical activity.

The survey revealed that 15 percent adolescents are regular smokers, slightly more girls than boys. There was a clear correlation between the practice of physical activity and tobacco consumption.

It also found that 59.2 percent of adolescents are physically active, although there are significant differences, gender-wise – 71.1 percent of boys, against 46.7 percent of girls.

These results show the importance of promoting physical activity and eradicating smoking, since physical activity, diet and tobacco and alcohol consumption were found to be linked with obesity, diabetes, coronary disease, osteoporosis and cancer.

– El 80% de los adolescentes españoles que practica deporte no fuma, y el 40% no realiza ninguna actividad física

El 80 por ciento de los adolescentes españoles que practica deporte no fuma, y el 40 por ciento no realiza ninguna actividad física, según muestran los datos del estudio Aumento del consumo de tabaco y reducción de la práctica de actividades físicas en los adolescentes españoles, realizado por investigadores del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), la Universidad de Granada, la de Murcia, Zaragoza y Cantabria, y la escuela Nuestra Señora de la Consolación de Granada, y que ha sido publicado en Nutrición Hospitalaria.

Los expertos analizaron a casi 3.000 jóvenes, y observaron que el 59,2 por ciento de los adolescentes son físicamente activos, aunque hay diferencias importantes en relación con el sexo (un 71,1 por ciento de hombres frente a un 46,7 por ciento de mujeres).

En lo que se refiere al consumo de tabaco, los datos de la encuesta revelaron que el 15 por ciento de los adolescentes son fumadores habituales, y el número de mujeres es ligeramente mayor que el de hombres. En este sentido, señalaron que hay una clara correlación entre la practica de actividad física y el consumo del tabaco, ya que los resultados muestran que el 80,9 de los jóvenes activos no fuman.

Según la opinión de los especialistas, este trabajo muestra la importancia de adoptar medidas para promover la práctica de deporte así como erradicar el consumo de tabaco, ya que, además, la dieta, el alcohol y fumar están relacionados con la obesidad, la diabetes, los problemas coronarios, la osteoporosis y el cáncer.

Mientras que el nivel de la práctica deportiva disminuye en los adolescentes a medida que crecen, el consumo de tabaco aumenta, por lo que los investigadores subrayaron la importancia de crear estrategias para intervenir en ambas conductas.

– Physical Activity Linked To Tobacco Consumption

A new study suggests that physically active adolescents are less likely to smoke than their non-active counterparts.

In a study involving 3,000 Spanish adolescents, Professors Pablo Tercedor, Palma Chillon, and Manuel Delgado, from University of Granada found that adolescents, who play a sport do not smoke usually, and more than 40 pct of the adolescents aged between 13 and 18 do not practice any physical activity.

The participants were given a questionnaire to know their habits. The survey showed that 80.9 per cent of the active subjects said that they do not smoke, compared to 71.4pct of the non-active adolescents.

It revealed that 59.2pct of the adolescents were physically active, with 71.1 pct of the boys as against 46.7 pct of the girls.

Moreover, 15pct of the adolescents were regular smokers, slightly more girls than boys.

Scientists suggests that the importance of adopting measures to promote the practice of physical activity and eradicate tobacco consumption, as it has been proved how physical activity, diet and tobacco and alcohol consumption are related to obesity, diabetes, coronary disease, osteoporosis and cancer.
