This study aimed to investigate the impact of smoking on physical activity level, emotional status, and cardiopulmonary endurance in healthy young Chinese college students in order to develop future nicotine dependence management solutions.
This survey-based study was conducted in college students aged 19-26 years who were currently smoking. Cardio-respiratory endurance was assessed by estimating VOmax. Participants were given a questionnaire containing five factors from the Cigarette Dependence Scale-5 (CDS-5), also assessed were variables for physical activity level, using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and emotional status. The sports training behavior was assessed using the Coaching Behavior Scale for Sport (CBS-S).
A total of 400 participants were randomly selected and included in the study. All of them were current smokers. The highest percentage of participants had a score of 4 on the CDS-5 (n=93, 23.2%), scored 3-5 on each module of sports training, and experienced negative emotions, particularly depression (n=172; 43.0%) and anger (n=162; 40.5%). VOmax levels were significantly lower in participants with high nicotine dependence (CDS-5 score 4-5), and they correlated negatively with CDS-5 scores (r= -0.883, p<0.001). Nicotine dependence scores were negatively correlated with physical activity levels (r= -0.830, p<0.001), and high nicotine dependence scores were independently related to low physical activity (adjusted odds ratio, AOR=14.66; 95% CI: 4.98-43.19 , p <0.001).
Tobacco smoking has a negative impact on emotional status. It also reduces cardiopulmonary endurance by reducing VOmax levels and negatively affects physical activity. Accordingly, it is critical to implement effective tobacco prevention programs for college students, such as a smoking warning system and physical exercise training, as well as to educate them on how to quit smoking.
本研究旨在调查吸烟对中国健康年轻大学生身体活动水平、情绪状态和心肺耐力的影响，以便制定未来尼古丁依赖管理解决方案。
本基于调查的研究针对年龄在19至26岁的当前吸烟大学生开展。通过估算最大摄氧量（VOmax）评估心肺耐力。参与者填写一份包含来自香烟依赖量表-5（CDS-5）五个因素的问卷，还使用全球身体活动问卷（GPAQ）评估身体活动水平变量以及情绪状态。使用运动教练行为量表（CBS-S）评估运动训练行为。
总共随机选取400名参与者纳入研究。他们均为当前吸烟者。参与者中CDS-5得分4分的比例最高（n = 93，23.2%），在运动训练的每个模块得分3 - 5分，并经历负面情绪，尤其是抑郁（n = 172；43.0%）和愤怒（n = 162；40.5%）。高尼古丁依赖（CDS-5得分4 - 5）的参与者VOmax水平显著更低，且与CDS-5得分呈负相关（r = -0.883，p < 0.001）。尼古丁依赖得分与身体活动水平呈负相关（r = -0.830，p < 0.001），高尼古丁依赖得分与低身体活动独立相关（调整优势比，AOR = 14.66；95%置信区间：4.98 - 43.19，p < 0.001）。
吸烟对情绪状态有负面影响。它还通过降低VOmax水平降低心肺耐力，并对身体活动产生负面影响。因此，为大学生实施有效的烟草预防计划至关重要，如吸烟警示系统和体育锻炼训练，以及教育他们如何戒烟。
