About this study

The goal of this [type of study: exercise intervention study] is to test in describe participant health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • [Whether physical exercise improves executive function of male heroin addicts]
  • [Whether physical exercise improves negative thinking/affect psychological experience of male heroin addicts] Participants will be randomly selected for medium-intensity strength training (resistance exercise,n=30), 30 will be selected for 1-hour long balloon volleyball sessions (aerobic exercise) at 60-70% volume of oxygen uptake during peak exercise, weekly 5 times for 12 weeks; and 30 will be assigned to the no-exercise control group, Participants will perform Executive function tests and the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised questionnaire at pre and post intervention.

Researchers will compare resistance exercise group,aerobic exercise group and no-exercise control group to see if effects of exercise on executive function and negative thinking/affect psychological experience of male heroin addicts.

Being tested
Aerobic exercise; Resistance exercise

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aerobic exercise; Resistance exerciseBehavioural

    To investigate affect/effect of dissimilar modes of exercise, Aerobic exercise versus Resistance exercise, on execution function and psychological symptoms in heroin addicts, 1 hour of characteristic exercise protocols aiming to (a) maximize the strain on the cardiovascular system with Aerobic exercise(60-70% of heart rate recovery) and (b) promote the greatest hypertrophy response with Resistance exercise(65% of 1 repetition maximum \& repeated up to 15 time) were used. Both exercise programs were designed to match the male heroin addicts, with medium-intensity Strength-Trained for Resistance exercise and playing balloon volleyball for Aerobic exercise. Two exercise groups performed at 65% of their pre-determine peak oxygen uptake.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. using the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) questionnaire to investigate the improvement of physical exercise on psychological symptoms in heroin addicts,

    Participants will be assessed the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) questionnaire at pre and post exercise intervention.

    Measured: Month 3

  2. using the executive functioning tests to investigate the improvement of physical exercise on executive function in heroin addicts,

    Participants will perform executive function test

    Measured: Month 3
