Methamphetamine use disorder (MUD) is a global health problem. Studies have shown Tai Chi is a potential treatment for MUD. We aimed to explore the effectiveness of Tai Chi in improving drug cravings, attention bias, and physical fitness in men with MUD compared with aerobic exercise.
A total of forty-eight participants (mean age 39.1 ± 8.7 years) were randomly assigned to either the Tai Chi group (TC) or the running group (RG). The TC performed 60 min of moderate-intensity (65-75% HR) Tai Chi exercise three times a week. The RG performed 60 min of moderate-intensity (65-75% HR) running on a treadmill three times a week. Before and after the intervention, drug cravings, attention bias, and physical fitness were evaluated.
After 12 weeks, we found the TC significantly improved in attention bias (F (1, 43) = 6.023, = 0.019, d = -0.42) and reaction time (F (1, 43) = 6.181, = 0.017, d = -0.72). No significant improvement was found in other variables in the TC, compared to the RG ( > 0.05).
The 12-week Tai Chi intervention improved attention bias and reaction time, compared to RG. Tai Chi exercise might be a potential auxiliary method for the rehabilitation for men with MUD.
甲基苯丙胺使用障碍（MUD）是一个全球性的健康问题。研究表明，太极拳是治疗MUD的一种潜在方法。我们旨在探讨与有氧运动相比，太极拳在改善MUD男性的药物渴望、注意偏向和身体素质方面的有效性。
共有48名参与者（平均年龄39.1±8.7岁）被随机分配到太极拳组（TC）或跑步组（RG）。TC组每周进行3次60分钟的中等强度（心率65 - 75%）太极拳运动。RG组每周在跑步机上进行3次60分钟的中等强度（心率65 - 75%）跑步。在干预前后，评估药物渴望、注意偏向和身体素质。
12周后，我们发现TC组在注意偏向（F(1, 43) = 6.023，P = 0.019，d = -0.42）和反应时间（F(1, 43) = 6.181，P = 0.017，d = -0.72）方面有显著改善。与RG组相比，TC组的其他变量没有显著改善（P > 0.05）。
与RG组相比，为期12周的太极拳干预改善了注意偏向和反应时间。太极拳运动可能是MUD男性康复的一种潜在辅助方法。
