Effects of Acute Exercise on Affect in Females with Substance Use Disorder.

Negative mood states experienced during the withdrawal stage of substance dependence have been associated with relapse in persons suffering from substance use disorder (SUD). Exercise is gaining attention as an adjunct therapy for SUD due to its ability to alleviate negative mood states experienced during withdrawal. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acute, controlled bouts of aerobic and resistance exercise versus sedentary control (quiet reading) on positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in females undergoing SUD treatment at inpatient facilities.

Comparison of Acute Energy Expenditure and Rating of Perceived Exertion in Equivalent Bouts of Circuit Training and Treadmill Running.

J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 680-687, 2021-Circuit weight training (CT) maximizes exercise density, which may lead to an inaccurate perception of energy expenditure (EE).

Resistance exercise and naproxen sodium: effects on a stable PGF2α metabolite and morphological adaptations of the upper body appendicular skeleton.

Introduction: Exercise-induced inflammation has been shown to be necessary for successful skeletal muscle regeneration post-injury. Accordingly, numerous investigations have demonstrated consequences of COX-inhibitors, anti-inflammatory drugs which prevent prostaglandin formation. In addition to its roles in inflammation, prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) also mediates vital regenerative processes The majority of research to report consequences of suppressing inflammation has utilized acute injury models in combination with acute COX-inhibitor administration.

Use of analgesics for exercise-associated pain: prevalence and predictors of use in recreationally trained college-aged students.

The objectives of this study were to examine the use of the analgesics for the relief of exercise-associated pain (EAP) and to examine personal and/or exercise characteristics that might potentially predict such use in recreationally trained college-aged individuals. Recreationally trained college-aged students (N = 263) were invited to complete a self-administered 16-item questionnaire concerning personal exercise habits and analgesic use for EAP. The primary dependent variable was analgesic use for EAP, and additional items sought to characterize patterns and behaviors related to the use.
