简要总结
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of circuit training on cardiopulmonary fitness among the different categories of drug abusers. Randomized clinical trial is conducted in registered Drug Rehabilitation Center with Social Welfare Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Da Haq Awaz (Anti-Drugs Organization), Peshawar. The sample size is 60 participants (n=60). These participants were divided into two groups: Group A (n = 30) and Group B (n = 30). Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability Purposive Sampling technique. Only male participants were included which age was 18-60 years with multi-drugs abusing. Tools used in the study are 6 Minute Walk Test, Step Test-VO2max, Spirometer Testing and Mini-Mental State Examination. Data was analyzed through SPSS 23.
详细描述
Drug addiction is a chronic, frequent brain disorder caused by continuous abuse or use of addictive drugs such as cocaine, heroin, cannabis, methadone and methamphetamine etc. Long-term drug misuse affects a person's physical and mental health, changes the structure of the brain, and endangers public safety as well. In 2021, there were over 275 million drug users worldwide, according to the United Nations Office report on Drugs and Crime's (UNODC), World Drug Report 2021. This is a 22% increase from 2010 and estimated an 11% increase by 2030. There were about 500,000 drug-related deaths in 2019 recorded, 36 million drug-related mental health problems, and 18 million healthy lives lost as a result of serious drug use problems, according to the report. In order to improve cardiovascular fitness, body composition, and overall health in both young and old people, as well as the quality of life for patients suffering from diseases like diabetes, kidney disease, or cancer, several international associations have released guidelines for physical activity and exercise that suggest increasing maximal strength in addition to these other improvements. Resistance and endurance training are commonly performed simultaneously (i.e., concurrent training) as part of periodic training sessions in a variety of diseases and sports disciplines.
Resistance circuit-based training (CT), which encourages aerobic conditioning, muscular endurance and neuromuscular and strength adaptations in a single session, is now one of the most popular concurrent training techniques. Previously, CT has been suggested as an optional kind of training for individuals who are not trained nor have a lower baseline level of fitness because it can increase VO2max and upper body maximal strength. Public health initiatives aiming at preventing heart disease have gained medical attention as the worldwide burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to rise. Exercise is an independent and protective risk factor linked to blood pressure (BP), blood vessel function, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), according to clinical research conducted over the years(3). Athletes who participate in CT training report higher heart rates but similar strength requirements to those reported during a traditional strength-training session. Additionally, they report higher lactate concentrations and ratings of perceived exertion during CT, which are higher than during traditional strength-training. Furthermore, they report higher oxygen consumption during the session compared to both traditional strength-training and aerobic treadmill exercise.
Furthermore, compared to a conventional resistance training session or a treadmill exercise, higher excess post-exercise oxygen demand during the recovery has been found following CT. These CT traits are generally associated with the particular strength and aerobic adaptations as well as changes in body composition associated with this kind of training. Previous studies on cardiorespiratory fitness have shown improvements in VO2max and endurance performance.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group A
The 4 weeks Circuit Training program, it will be of 3 times per week. Each CT workout includes 6 stations per Circuit Training. Before the training period, all participants underwent an exercise familiarization session to ensure proper execution of technique. The CT exercises includes five times of high knee, three minute stair climbing, five repetitions of pushups, 10 time sit ups/crunches, right and left single leg stands for long time as they continued balance and 10 times squad thrusts among the 6 stations.
干预措施: Circuit Training Program (Other)
Group B
The Control Group will also receive the 4 weeks treatment program in which participants will receive educational sessions and lifestyle advice related to health and fitness but do not engage in a structured exercise program but will do just the traditional exercise such as walking.
干预措施: Conventional Training Program (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
6 Minute Walk Test for Distance
时间窗: 4 Weeks
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple field test used to measure the distance an individual can walk on a flat, hard surface within six minutes. It is commonly used to evaluate functional exercise capacity and endurance, especially in populations with cardiopulmonary limitations. The test is performed in a straight corridor or walkway, and the total distance covered in six minutes is recorded
Step Test-VO2max
时间窗: 4 Weeks
(Maximal Oxygen Uptake) the step test is used to assess cardiopulmonary fitness by evaluating heart and lung efficiency during exercise and recovery. The test requires a 12-inch step/platform, a stopwatch, and optionally, a metronome and heart rate monitor. After a 5-10 minute warm-up, the participant steps up and down at a rate of 96 beats per minute for 3 minutes. Immediately after, the participant sits down, and their heart rate is measured for 1 full minute to determine cardiovascular endurance and recovery rate.
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
时间窗: 4 Weeks
(MMSE) is primarily used to assess cognitive function in the context of drug abusers, it can be relevant to evaluate cognitive impairment that may affect their ability to engage in and benefit from cardiopulmonary fitness programs. The MMSE evaluates cognitive domains such as orientation, memory, attention, language, and visuospatial skills. In drug abusers, cognitive deficits can influence their adherence to and effectiveness of cardiopulmonary interventions.
