“…We were particularly interested in the association with major depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder as both mental disorders are known to be widely prevalent in these settings 14,15 while they are also associated with lower participation in PAs. [16][17][18] Secondary aims were to explore the reasons why PLWH living in a fishing community in Uganda want to become or remain physically active and their perceived barriers to become or remain physically active.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore which variables were associated with physical inactivity in people living with HIV living in a fishing community in Uganda. Secondary aims were to explore the reasons for and barriers to physical activity (PA). Two hundred and fifty-six individuals living with HIV (77 men, 40.5 ± 10.3 years) completed the Physical Activity Vital Sign (PAVS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Women had a 1.62 (95% CI = 1.01–2.57), those not having a job a 2.81 (95% CI = 2.00–3.94), and those with depression a 5.67 (95% CI = 2.27–14.17) higher odds for not being physically active for 150 min/week at moderate intensity. Employment and depression status were the only independent significant predictors explaining 27.2% of the PAVS variance. Becoming more healthy and energetic again and reducing stress were the most important PA motives, and musculoskeletal pain, body weakness, and lack of time were the most important PA barriers.

“…In addition, the practice or not of physical exercise in the present study was only reported by the individual. Despite this, other studies in the literature have demonstrated a higher prevalence of sedentary behaviors among individuals with SUD, especially among those with a longer time of use 21,22 .…”

“…It is known that the consumption of alcohol and/or illicit drugs can negatively affect body balance 8,12,14 , which may be due to the increase in the occurrence of tremors and excessive body oscillation 1,23,24 , damage to structures of the central and peripheral nervous system 13 , or, in the specific case of alcohol consumption, cerebellar damage characterized by degeneration and loss of volume of Purkinje cells 25 . Although the practice of physical exercise was considered as a covariant for the comparison between groups, it is known that individuals with SUD, in addition to neurological damage, may present low levels of muscular strength when compared to people without dependence, a factor which may also negatively influence the results 7,19 .…”

“…Psychological approaches used in the treatment of alcohol and drug dependence may include mutual help groups, group therapy, and psychotherapy, as well as short-or long-term hospitalization in specialized institutions for the treatment of chemical dependence 6 . Chemical dependence can lead to several impairments to the individual's mobility, including impairments in their postural control 7,8 .…”

One of the common sequelae of chronic abuse of alcohol and/or illicit drugs is the impairment of body balance control, caused by long-term neurological damage. This study aimed to investigate the postural control of individuals hospitalized for the treatment of substance use disorder (initial phase) and to compare the results obtained by a control group. Method: For this, One-hundred fourteen individuals hospitalized for the treatment of substance use disorder and eighty-eight healthy controls, all males, were analyzed. Body mass, height, and waist circumference were measured. Were performed a balance test in a static upright position with feet side by side using a plantar pressure platform. Results: Individuals with substance use disorder have shown significantly lower results on body balance compared with controls. Individuals with chemical dependence showed balance results open-eyes, similar/lower than control subjects with close-eyes. Still, those who used only alcohol or alcohol combined with other illicit drugs presented worse results. Finally, impairments in body balance variables showed a significant correlation with age and substance time of use. Conclusion: Even in the early stage of treatment, substance use disorder considerably impairs the balance of the investigated men. The worst results were found in alcohol-dependents (alcohol alone or alcohol combined with other drugs).

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.
