“…Another important finding with possible clinical implications is that except for the flamingo balance, higher levels of physical activity were associated with a better physical fitness. Our data provide further evidence to the still limited exercise in AUD literature (Giesen et al, 2015;Hallgren et al, 2017a;Hallgren et al, 2018;Hallgren et al, 2017b) that better physical fitness might be achieved via increasing physical activity levels. Due to the limited physical activity and physical fitness research in patients with AUD, there are however currently no detailed physical activity guidelines available for this clinical population.…”

“…Although unhealthy behaviors cluster together, there are limited data to examine the co-use of excessive and binge alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking by Hispanic/Latino subpopulations. Further, physical activity has been found to be protective of at-risk alcohol use (Ejsing, Becker, Tolstrup, & Flensborg-Madsen, 2015;Hallgren, Vancampfort, Lundin, Andersson, & Andreasson, 2018) and smoking (Pavey, Gartner, Coombes, & Brown, 2015;Prapavessis et al, 2016). Previous studies have found that physical activity helps lower the amount of drinking among persons with alcohol use disorders (Ejsing et al, 2015;Hallgren et al, 2018).…”

Tobacco smoking and binge or excess drinking are unhealthy behaviors that frequently co-occur. Studies of Hispanics/Latinos have mostly been of Mexican Americans although there are substantial differences in smoking and drinking by heritage background. Associated with co-use by 5 subpopulations. Methods: Cross-sectional data of 16,412 Hispanics/Latinos from Miami, the Bronx, Chicago and San Diego collected between 2008 and 2011 as part of the HCHS/SOL were analyzed. Smoking and alcohol consumption and demographic data were measured by self-report. Prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption and co-use were reported. Logistic regression models examined the odds of co-use of smoking and binge or excess alcohol use by Hispanic/Latino background group. Results: Men of Cuban (10.3%), Puerto Rican (8.9%), and Mexican (8.9%) background had the highest prevalence of co-use of smoking and binge drinking compared to men of Central American (6.1%) and Dominican (6.6%) background. Women of Dominican (16.4%) and Puerto Rican (19.7%) background had the highest prevalence of binge drinking compared to women of Central American (10%) and Cuban (8%) background and Puerto Rican (34.1%) and Cuban (21.8%) women were the most likely to report current smoking compared to women of Central American (8.3%) and Mexican (10.4%) background. Acculturation was not associated with couse among men and women. Elevated depressive symptoms were positively associated with smoking and binge drinking among men, OR = 1.5 [1.2-2.0], and women, OR = 1.5 [1.1-2.2]. Puerto Rican women had increased odds of co-use of smoking and binge or excess drinking compared to Mexican American women, OR = 3.2 [1.5-6.6].

“…In this sense, exercise is seen as a potentially beneficial and costeffective non-pharmacological adjuvant strategy for the treatment of SUD 7,13,21,30,34,35 . However, in practice, a highly medicalized rehabilitation process from SUD is still observed 21,34 , often not including the practice of physical exercise as a therapeutic routine.…”

“…Physical exercise, in this sense, would act beneficially by increasing abstinence rates, attenuating the symptoms of craving caused by the abrupt withdrawal of the substance, as well as reducing anxiety attacks and depressive symptoms 18 and improving treatment adherence 19 . In addition to promoting substantial mental health benefits, exercise also works to improve indicators of physical fitness and attenuate body balance disorders 7,[20][21][22] .…”

Introduction: Substance use disorder (SUD) is seen as a serious and growing public safety and health problem worldwide. Long-term sequelae may involve permanent damage to physical fitness, body balance, and coordination skills, with a severe motor, functional, and emotional consequences. Objective: To verify the effect of 16 sessions of a multimodal physical exercise program on physical fitness, body balance, and internalized stigma of inpatients for the treatment of Substance use disorder. Methods: Forty-three males with Substance use disorder (aged 33.9 ±12.4 years) were divided into an Intervention Group (IG, n=21) and Control Group (CG, n=22). The IG was submitted to eight weeks of training with physical exercises. Participants were submitted to the evaluation of internalized stigma, body balance, agility, and flexibility, before and after the intervention period. Results: Positive results were observed in physical fitness (agility, p=0.001) and body balance variables (center of pressure path with closed eyes, p=0.050, and ellipse area with closed eyes, p=0.031). The time of substance use correlated with lower performance in agility and body balance tests. Conclusion: The data seem to support the potential benefit of physical exercise as an adjunct in Substance use disorder rehabilitation process, particularly for physical fitness and body balance variables.
