Olympiasiegerin Julia Dujmovits und Wissenschafter diskutierten über Ernährung

Wenn ein sportwissenschaftliches Thema bewegt, dann heißt es an der Universität Graz Start frei für die Diskussionsreihe „Der bewegte Körper“. So wieder am 13. November 2018 im großen Hörsaal des Zentrums für Molekulare Biowissenschaften, der aufgrund des großen Interesses zweimal gefüllt hätte werden können. Was ist „gesunde“, was ist optimale Sporternährung? lautete die Frage, die Diskussionsleiter Gerhard Tschakert, Sportwissenschafter an der Universität Graz, seinen Gästen stellte: Manfred Lamprecht, Experte für Nährstoffforschung und Sporternährung, Sportwissenschafter Stefan Spirk sowie Julia Dujmovits, Snowboard-Olympiasiegerin von 2014.

Tenor: Die klassische Ernährungspyramide bilde ein gutes Fundament für eine ausgewogene Zufuhr an Lebensmitteln. Ernährungsexperte Manfred Lamprecht klärte auf: „Ernährung ist für den Spitzensport nicht alles, aber wichtig für die Gesundheit.“ Das bestätigte auch die ehemalige Spitzensportlerin Julia Dujmovits: „Ernährung ist ein Faktor für Leistung, auf der Piste ist aber auch die Technik entscheidend.“ Das ganzheitliche Denken spiele für sie eine essenzielle Rolle: „Der Körper weiß, was er braucht.“ 

Nahrungsergänzungsmittel standen sowohl am Podium als auch bei den Fragen des Publikums im Mittelpunkt. Sportwissenschafter Stefan Spirk appellierte: „Achten Sie auf die Herkunft und fragen Sie die ExpertInnen!“ Lamprecht ergänzte: „Wenn die Basisernährung nicht stimmt, hilft das beste Supplement nichts.“  

Die Reihe „Der bewegte Körper“ ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation der Uni Graz.

Desert sand, microplastics, cancer cells: David Clases awarded ERC grant for analytical method

Nanoparticles trapped in polar ice can reveal a great deal about the climate 100,000 years ago. Chemist David Clases is developing unique methods to analyse them in detail. He will now adapt these methods for use with larger particles in order to glean even more information about Earth’s history. The method can be used for a wide range of other purposes – for example, in medical diagnostics or the investigation of environmental pollution. Clases has been awarded a Proof-of-Concept Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for this work.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.
