Although smoking urges have been demonstrated to vary by gender and also be influenced by exercise, it is unknown if exercise has a differential effect on smoking urges by gender. This study aimed to explore gender-specific effects of an acute bout of exercise on cessation-related symptoms in men and women smokers during acute abstinence.
We enrolled smokers (≥5 cigarettes/day) who were 18-40years old for a study on exercise and smoking behavior. Participants abstained from smoking for at least 3h, prior to measurement of their maximal oxygen consumption tested, which was the acute bout of exercise. Prior to and after the exercise, participants completed the Questionnaire of Smoking Urges - Brief and the Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale.
Participants (n=38; 61% women) were, on average, 30.0±0.9years old and smoked 13.0±0.8 cigarettes/day. All measured aspects of cessation-related symptoms significantly improved after the exercise in both men and women. In women there was a significant decline in anticipated relief from negative affect after the exercise (women: -0.45±0.20, p=0.0322; men: -0.41±0.26, p=0.1312). In men there was a significant decline in the intention to smoke after the exercise (men: -0.77±0.23, p=0.0053; women: -0.66±0.37, p=0.0909).
An acute bout of exercise reduced smoking urges in both men and women smokers during an acute state of abstinence. Additional research is needed to replicate these observations in a larger, more diverse sample, and to explore the implication of these observations on cessation.
尽管已经证明吸烟欲望因性别而异，并且也受到运动的影响，但尚不清楚运动是否对男性和女性吸烟者在急性戒断期间的吸烟欲望产生不同的影响。本研究旨在探讨急性运动对男性和女性吸烟者在急性戒断期间与戒烟相关的症状的性别特异性影响。
我们招募了年龄在 18-40 岁之间、每天至少吸 5 支烟的吸烟者，参与一项关于运动和吸烟行为的研究。在测量最大耗氧量（即急性运动）之前，参与者至少要戒烟 3 小时。在运动前后，参与者完成了吸烟欲望问卷-简短版和明尼苏达尼古丁戒断量表。
参与者（n=38；61%为女性）平均年龄为 30.0±0.9 岁，每天吸烟 13.0±0.8 支。在男性和女性中，所有与戒烟相关的症状的测量方面在运动后都显著改善。在女性中，运动后对缓解负面情绪的预期明显下降（女性：-0.45±0.20，p=0.0322；男性：-0.41±0.26，p=0.1312）。在男性中，运动后吸烟的意愿显著下降（男性：-0.77±0.23，p=0.0053；女性：-0.66±0.37，p=0.0909）。
在急性戒断期间，急性运动减少了男性和女性吸烟者的吸烟欲望。需要进一步的研究来在更大、更多样化的样本中复制这些观察结果，并探讨这些观察结果对戒烟的影响。
