增加药物依赖患者运动量的干预是一种潜在有用但尚未探索的预防复发策略。然而，目前没有既定的运动干预措施可用于这一人群。这项试验性研究的目的是探讨有氧运动作为药物依赖患者药物滥用治疗的辅助手段的可行性。参与者包括16名（31%女性，38.3岁）药物依赖患者，他们参加了为期12周的中等强度有氧运动干预。参与者平均参加了8.6次会议（共12次）。参与者在治疗结束时戒酒和戒毒的天数百分比显着增加，那些参加至少75%的运动课程的人比那些没有参加的人有更好的物质使用结果。此外，在治疗结束时，参与者的心肺适应性显着增加。虽然初步，这项研究是第一个证明在药物滥用治疗期间纳入有氧运动的可行性。未来的随机对照试验是测试中等强度有氧运动干预作为药物滥用治疗辅助治疗在该患者人群中的疗效的必要下一步。
Intervention to increase exercise in drug dependent patients represents a potentially useful yet unexplored strategy for preventing relapse. However, there are currently no established exercise interventions for use with this population. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility of aerobic exercise as an adjunct to substance abuse treatment among drug dependent patients. Participants included 16 (31% female, 38.3 years old) drug dependent patients who participated in a 12-week, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise intervention. Participants attended a mean of 8.6 sessions (out of 12). Participants demonstrated a significant increase in percent days abstinent for both alcohol and drugs at the end of treatment, and those who attended at least 75% of the exercise sessions had significantly better substance use outcomes than those who did not. In addition, participants showed a significant increase in their cardiorespiratory fitness by the end of treatment. While preliminary, this study is one of the first to demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating aerobic exercise during drug abuse treatment. Future randomized control trials are a necessary next step to test the efficacy of a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise intervention as an adjunct to drug abuse treatment in this patient population.
