It has been shown that smoking can alter the sensitivity to muscle activity in female smokers. The present study was designed to assess the effects of smoking cessation and nicotine replacement on sensitivity to muscle tension. Twenty-five women were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group was given nicotine chewing gum during the withdrawal period and a second group was given no nicotine replacement. Results showed a significant difference in sensitivity at post-test for subjects given nicotine gum compared to subjects receiving no nicotine replacement. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that nicotine alters sensitivity to muscle tension.
研究表明，吸烟会改变女性吸烟者对肌肉活动的敏感度。本研究旨在评估戒烟和尼古丁替代对肌肉张力敏感度的影响。25名女性被随机分为两组。一组在戒断期给予尼古丁口香糖，另一组不给予尼古丁替代物。结果显示，与未接受尼古丁替代的受试者相比，接受尼古丁口香糖的受试者在测试后敏感度存在显著差异。这些结果与尼古丁会改变对肌肉张力敏感度的假设一致。
