A team of scientists led by the University of Granada (UGR), the Public University of Navarra (UPNA) and the CIBER conducted a pioneering study on the benefits of intermittent fasting, which has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Medicine. Not eating anything from 5 p.m. until 9 a.m. the following day (early fasting) helps to a greater extent to improve blood sugar regulation and reduce abdominal subcutaneous fat, i.e. the fat just under the skin.

The scientific team points out the need to include the whole of Sierra Bermeja in the National Parks Network

The results underscore the importance of reducing exposure to toxic metals in childhood and highlight the need for public policies that promote healthier environments to prevent obesity-related diseases from an early age.

This exclusive distinction, which has only been awarded to one other laboratory to date, demonstrates the research excellence of this UGR centre located at the Faculty of Sport Sciences.

Energy efficiency — the number of instructions a computer can execute using one joule of energy — is improving every day, but at a slower rate than predicted by Koomey’s Law, which estimated that it would double every 19 months, rather than every 2.29 years as has been shown

The 20-meter shuttle run (also known as the beep test), handgrip strength (or manual dynamometric), standing long jump tests together height/weight to estimate body mass index are the most appropriate tests. These results have an impact on public health policies

Each will receive €1.5 million to complete their projects over the next five years and establish their own research group.

A recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports (Nature), conducted by Professors Javier Alba-Tercedor and Francisca Ruano from the Department of Zoology at the University of Granada, has revealed surprising findings on the damage caused to olive fruits by the olive fly, the olive moth, and the shield.

UGR scientists have coordinated and developed the simulation and reconstruction algorithms for the scintillation light, as well as the system for detecting it in the experiment, in addition to leading other studies.

The study “Cardiobarometer Spanish”, published in the international journal “Social Science & Medicine”, investigates how people interpret different combinations of symptoms of acute coronary syndrome. Seeking medical care is more likely to be delayed when a person does not have severe chest pain. Women take longer to seek help, despite more frequently recognizing that it could be a cardiovascular event
