SGR Lifestyle, Sports and Health (2017 SGR 1701)
Research Consolidated Group created in 2005 and coordinated by Dr. Lluís Capdevila. The general objective is to develop and apply healthy lifestyle markers in different target populations: athletes, school-age children, the elderly, hospital patients such as those with chronic fatigue, and also in animal models. Strategies for health promotion are developed from the interdisciplinary study of the encouragement of healthy habits, such as the regular practice of physical exercise, eating behavior and stress control. |
