Self reported leisure-time exercise change during smoking cessation in men and women
Abstract
Much effort has been focused on the use of exercise as a tool for smoking cessation and the relationship between exercise and sustained tobacco abstinence. There is substantial preclinical evidence showing that physical activity is an effective drug treatment intervention (Cosgrove, Hunter, & Carroll, 2002; Sanchez, Lycas, Lynch, & Brunzell, 2015; Sanchez, Moore, Brunzell, & Lynch, 2013; Zlebnik & Carroll, 2015; Zlebnik, Hedges, Carroll, & Meisel, 2014). However, the clinical evidence is not as strong (Bardo & Compton, 2015). In a recent Cochrane review, two of 20 randomized trials showed an exercise intervention as having a positive effect on smoking cessation in the long-term (Ussher, Taylor, & Faulkner, 2014). A similar review found minimal evidence for the positive treatment effects of exercise interventions and noted that most of the available studies were underpowered and poorly controlled (Zschucke, Heinz, & Ströhle, 2012).
