Epidemiology of physical activity and sedentary behavior levels among patients entering treatment for substance use disorder in the United States: a descriptive study.

Introduction: Little is known about physical activity behaviors among people with SUD. This study aimed to (a) describe self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary (SED) behaviors of adults with SUD initiating treatment (b), determine the potential contributions of drug of choice (DOC) on these behaviors, and (c) determine the potential contributions of level of care and demographic variables on these behaviors.

Methods: Secondary data that was collected via surveys including demographic information, psychological health, drug of choice, MVPA (categorized as inactive, insufficiently active, meets guidelines, exceeds guidelines) and SED (<4 h/day, 4-<6 h/day, 6-8 h/day, >8 h/day) were analyzed from 1,293 patients in inpatient/outpatient treatment facilities across the United States.
