Methadone-maintained persons are at increased risk for many physical and mental health disorders compared to the general population. Increased physical activity could offset these risks. We assessed physical activity level, and perceived benefits and barriers to exercise in a group of 305 methadone-maintained smokers. Mean participant age was 39.9 years, 50.2% were male, 79.7% were non-Hispanic White, and mean body mass index was 29.8. Nearly 45% endorsed fair or poor physical health. Although participants perceived many benefits of exercise and few barriers, only 38% of participants met weekly recommendations for physical activity, and nearly 25% reported no physical activity. Those who met recommended guidelines were significantly more likely to endorse relapse prevention as a benefit of exercise. Motivating MMT patients to increase physical activity could have important physical, mental health, and drug treatment benefits.
与普通人群相比，美沙酮维持治疗者患许多身心疾病的风险增加。增加身体活动可以降低这些风险。我们评估了 305 名美沙酮维持治疗的吸烟者的身体活动水平，以及他们对运动的益处和障碍的认知。参与者的平均年龄为 39.9 岁，50.2%为男性，79.7%为非西班牙裔白人，平均体重指数为 29.8。近 45%的参与者表示身体健康状况一般或较差。尽管参与者认为运动有很多好处，障碍很少，但只有 38%的参与者达到了每周身体活动的建议标准，近 25%的人报告没有身体活动。那些符合推荐标准的人更有可能将预防复发视为运动的益处。鼓励美沙酮维持治疗者增加身体活动可能会带来重要的身心健康和药物治疗益处。
