Previous research suggests that a long bout of vigorous intensity exercise may reduce tobacco withdrawal symptoms and desire to smoke during abstinence.
In the present study, we investigated whether a short bout of moderate intensity exercise reduced desire to smoke and withdrawal symptoms in abstaining smokers.
Seventy-eight smokers attended the laboratory in the afternoon having not smoked since the previous evening. They rated their desire to smoke and withdrawal symptoms immediately before, during and after 10 min of moderate intensity exercise on a stationary cycle (experimental condition), or after waiting passively (control condition 1) or watching a video (control condition 2).
Ratings of desire to smoke and withdrawal symptoms decreased more in the experimental group than in both control groups, which did not differ from each other. The effect was evident at all measurement points and was maintained for at least 10 min following exercise.
A single bout of 10 min of moderate intensity exercise has a rapid and measurable effect on desire to smoke and tobacco withdrawal symptoms in abstaining smokers. Short bouts of exercise may be useful in helping to reduce desire to smoke and withdrawal symptoms during smoking cessation.
先前的研究表明,长时间的高强度运动可能会减轻戒烟期间的烟草戒断症状和吸烟欲望。
在本研究中,我们调查了短时间的中等强度运动是否会降低戒烟者的吸烟欲望和戒断症状。
78名吸烟者于下午前往实验室,自前一晚起未吸烟。他们在进行10分钟固定自行车中等强度运动前、运动期间和运动后(实验条件),或在被动等待后(对照条件1)或观看视频后(对照条件2),对自己的吸烟欲望和戒断症状进行评分。
与两个对照组相比,实验组的吸烟欲望和戒断症状评分下降更多,而两个对照组之间没有差异。这种效果在所有测量点都很明显,并且在运动后至少持续10分钟。
单次10分钟的中等强度运动对戒烟者的吸烟欲望和烟草戒断症状有快速且可测量的影响。短时间的运动可能有助于在戒烟期间降低吸烟欲望和戒断症状。
