Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of an 8-week combined exercise program on male individuals in drug rehabilitation. The program integrates resistance-based breathing training with aerobic exercise. The investigators seek to determine whether this combined exercise program is more effective than a single form of exercise in improving participants' physical health and quality of life. The primary research questions to be addressed include: Does this combined exercise program produce better results than single-form training (resistance-based breathing training or aerobic exercise performed separately) in improving physiological indicators such as cardiopulmonary function and muscle strength in male individuals in drug rehabilitation? Does this combined exercise program yield greater benefits than single-form training in reducing anxiety and depression and improving quality of life among men in drug rehabilitation? This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial. Researchers will compare three different intervention groups-the combined training group, the resistance-breathing training group, and the aerobic exercise group-to verify the potential advantages of the combined program over single-form exercise. Participants will: Complete an 8-week exercise intervention, consisting of three sessions per week, each lasting approximately 40 minutes, under professional guidance and supervision. Undergo comprehensive assessments before and after the intervention, including cardiopulmonary function tests, body composition analysis, and questionnaires on mental health and quality of life.

Interventions

DEVICEResistance Breathing Training

Warm-up (5 minutes) → Threshold resistance breathing trainer (30 minutes) → Cool-down stretches (5 minutes).During joint training, each session lasts 15 minutes.

BEHAVIORALAerobic Exercise

Warm-up (5 minutes) → Main exercise (30 minutes, at 65%-85% of maximum heart rate or a Borg RPE score of 12-14) → Cool-down and stretching (5 minutes).During joint training sessions, each training session lasts 15 minutes.
