简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if exercise can reduce alcohol craving in heavy social alcohol drinkers. The main questions this project aims to answer are 1) compared to a distraction activity (i.e., coloring), will mild-to-moderate intensity exercise (i.e., walking on a treadmill) reduce alcohol craving; 2) compared to a distraction, will mild-to-moderate intensity exercise reduce the amount of consumption of an alcohol-placebo beverage.
详细描述
Upon arriving to the study, participants will complete baseline measures assessing for the inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as baseline alcohol craving and subjective response measures. Participants will then be randomly assigned into the active treatment (exercise) or distraction (coloring) condition. After randomization, participants will consume a low-dose alcohol beverage (BAC=0.03g/dL; equivalent to approximately 1 standard alcohol beverage) within five minutes to induce active alcohol craving. 15 minutes post-beverage consumption, participants will complete the alcohol craving and subjective response measures. At 20 minutes post-beverage consumption, participants will begin their randomly assigned 20-minute activity (exercise or coloring). At approximately 12 minutes into the activity (32 minutes post beverage consumption) and immediately after the activity (44 minutes post beverage consumption), the participants will complete the alcohol craving and subjective response measures. Participants will then be given a tray of three 8oz. cups of water and 3 8oz. cups of an alcohol-placebo beverage and will be allowed to drink as much or as little of the beverages as they would like.

研究组 & 干预措施
Exercise
Moderate intensity treadmill walking (40%-59% of heartrate reserve).
干预措施: Exercise (Behavioral)
Coloring
Coloring in an adult coloring book as a distraction activity
干预措施: Coloring (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Post-intervention alcohol beverage consumption
时间窗: Post-intervention (approximately 50 minutes after prime dose consumption)
It is expected that individuals in the exercise condition will consume more of the alcohol-placebo beverage (milliliters of beverage consumed) than individuals in the coloring condition.
Changes in alcohol craving after alcohol prime dose
时间窗: mid-intervention (32 minutes after prime dose consumption) & post-intervention (44 minutes after prime dose consumption)
It is expected that the exercise condition will lead to larger reductions in alcohol craving (Alcohol Urge Questionnaire) at the mid- and post-intervention time points as compared to the coloring condition.
次要结局
- Changes in alcohol wanting after alcohol prime dose(mid-intervention (32 minutes after prime dose consumption) & post-intervention (44 minutes after prime dose consumption))
