Background: Addiction dependency presents itself as change in the
level of protective proteins of airways and increase in stress. The purpose of
this study was to determine the effect of aerobic training on Clara Cell protein
16 (CC16) and cortisol in addicts.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 20 addicted men (20-33
years old) were selected after public call and divided into drug supplement
(N=10) and exercise -drug supplement (N=10)
groups. The former group performed exercise
training to intensity of 70-75%
of VO2max for twenty sessions (5 sessions per week and for 45 to 55 minutes in
each session). Also they consumed 10 milligrams of methadone. The other
group only consumed 10 milligrams of methadone daily. Later on CC16 and cortisol levels in addicts were evaluated. Data were entered into SPSS
software for analysis.
Results: Analyses show that the level of
CC16 decreased significantly in training group (p=0.029, t9=2.591).
In addition, level of cortisol decreased significantly in the
former group (p=0.03, t9=2.573).
Conclusion: We can deduce that presumably the exercise-drug
supplement method in comparison to the other intervention is better for
treatment of addict subjects. Also, it is a good method to enhance of pulmonary
system in these subjects. However, further research is needed to
confirm the results of the current study.
