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.

The study is published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria.

– 8 Of Every 10 Spanish Adolescents Who Play A Sport Do Not Smoke, And More Than 40% Do Not Practice Any Physical Activity

Sports and tobacco consumption are directly related, according to a study carried out by researchers of the University of Granada, the Spanish National Research Council- CSIC, the Universities of Murcia, Zaragoza and Cantabria, and the Nuestra Señora de la Consolación School of Granada. This work has proved that those Spanish adolescents who play a sport do not smoke usually (8 of every 10), and more than 40% of the adolescents aged between 13 and 18 do not practice any physical activity.

The article Increase of tobacco consumption and reduction of the physical activity practice level in Spanish adolescents: AVENA Study, published in the journal Nutrición Hospitalaria, has analysed the relationship between tobacco and sports in a sample of about 3,000 students from Granada, Madrid, Murcia, Santander and Zaragoza, who were applied a questionnaire to get to know their habits on this matter.

According to this research work, with the participation of the UGR Professors Pablo Tercedor, Palma Chillón, and Manuel Delgado, 59.2% of the adolescents are physically active, although there are significant differences according to sex (71.1% of the boys as against 46.7% of the girls). These percentages coincide with other similar studies carried out in the USA, although the results are below those obtained in France (where 75% of men play a sport, as against 58% of women).

Girls smoke more

As regards tobacco consumption the survey has revealed that 15% adolescents are regular smokers, slightly more girls than boys. There is a clear correlation between the practice of physical activity and tobacco consumption, as 80.9 per cent of the active subjects say they do not smoke, as against 71.4% of the non-active.

In the scientists opinion, these results show 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. Whereas the practice levels of physical activity in adolescents decrease as they get older, tobacco consumption increase, which reveals the importance of adopting intervention strategies on both conducts.

This work has also analysed the attitudes and motivations that encourage to tobacco consumption among the young, such as the use of this toxic substance as a mechanism to control body weight, a method to calm down, a curiosity or a with to feel older, among others.

– Literatura y teatro parten desde Albolote en la revista Alhucema

La publicación dirigida por el escritor granadino Emilio Ballesteros y que recoge obras de autores consagrados y noveles publica ahora su número veinte en una edición muy especial

La revista Alhucema es una publicación de teatro y literatura que se fundó en 1999 en Albolote para difundir obras de autores consagrados y noveles. Esta revista cuenta con el único apoyo financiero del Ayuntamiento de Albolote y ahora publica su número 20 en una edición especial. Los responsables de la revista la consideran como un proyecto y una realidad de presente, aunque su verdadero valor es de futuro.

La revista Alhucema está dirigida por el escritor granadino Emilio Ballesteros y cuenta con varias corresponsalías en países como Holanda, Suiza, Alemania, Italia, Portugal, Estados Unidos, México, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Perú, República Dominicana, Venezuela, Marruecos, Australia y Líbano, en los que también se distribuye.

La sección teatral de la revista Alhucema la dirige un miembro de la Academia de Buenas Letras de Granada, José Moreno Arenas. En los números de esta revista se publican piezas del mejor teatro breve de diversos autores del panorama escénico actual. Se trata de textos con un máximo de dos o tres folios que encuentran en esta revista una forma de llegar a los lectores, ya que por sus características, no es factible su publicación a no ser que el autor de la pieza teatral escriba las suficientes obras como para formar un volumen.

La publicación comenzó con una periodicidad trimestral, pero actualmente se publica cada seis meses ya que ha mejorado su presentación en lo referente a cantidad de páginas, tipografía y encuadernación, que es como la de un libro.

En el número 20, una de las piezas teatrales corre a cargo del granadino Álvaro Salvador, profesor de la Universidad de Granada, miembro de la Academia de Buenas Letras de Granada y autor de libros de poesía, novela y ensayo. Para este número el escritor granadino aporta su pieza teatral Saxo varón, saxo solo.

La segunda pieza teatral incluida en el número 20 de la revista Alhucema es Espada de cruz del escritor de Lima Santiago Risso.

La parte de poesía y narrativa de la revista cuenta con poemas del poeta granadino, profesor de la Universidad de Granada y miembro de la Academia de las Buenas Letras, José Rienda, que incluye una canción de cuna que la dedica a su hija Ariadna.

También se incluye el poema Flores para Emily de Anuk Kann, una poeta granadina influenciada por la poesía de Emily Dickinson: Me hizo dar un gran paso en madurez al aportarme quizás el ideal que yo no había aún encontrado, comenta. La revista Alhucema también incluye poemas del argentino Juan Luis Andrade, que aporta Sitio de los perdidos, La belleza sentada, Estación del viento y Los que viajan en la larga noche.

También se incluye una selección del poemario de Francisco Álvarez Koki que recibió la mención honorífica del certamen Federico García Lorca en Nueva York en 1998: Suicidio en Hudson, Greenwich Villaje, Cuatro sombras, Éxodo, Central Park, Números o New York, New York.

El poeta y crítico de literatura de Perú José Pablo Quevedo escribe un poema homenaje para Gabriel García Márquez que también se incluye en este número así como el poema Canto coral a Túpac Camaru, que es la libertad del Premio Nacional de Poesía de 1949 y uno de los poetas peruanos más importantes de la Generación del 50, Alejandro Romualdo Valle, fallecido en mayo de este año.

El número 20 de Alhucema también incluye un poema en árabe, el del poeta de Tánger Mohamed Ahmed Bennís: Magos acercándose a mi cabeza, que hace referencia a una antigua casta sacerdotal persa que adoraba al fuego y no a los practicantes de brujería que es lo que hoy se aplica al término mago.

La revista también incluye en este número un poema de la poeta catalana Elvira Peña titulado Los amantes y otro de la poeta cubana Yanisa Henríquez Echevarría, quien aporta El último rostro de los hombres.

Este número incluye un especial del siglo XX en el que aparece recogido el relato de Manuel Sánchez Historias para no olvidar: de Auschwitz a Ramala pasando por Chile o Rompiendo el cerco en Gaza de Israel Shamir, escritor, traductor y periodista israelí de origen ruso.

Es protagonista también el escritor colombiano Antonio Caballero que es entrevistado por Marcos Fabián Herrera Muñoz. También se incluye un artículo del escritor malagueño Carlos Benítez Villodres sobre el ultraísmo. El director de la revista, Emilio Ballesteros, aporta también un relato titulado El último destello de Al-Ándalus, basado en hechos y personajes reales recogidos en las crónicas de Jaime Bleda y fray Marco de Guadalajara. La revista se cierra con algunos fragmentos de libros como Paisajes de Enrique Villagrasa o Mi nombre es nadie de Emilio Ballesteros.
