To explore the effects of exercise intervention on the physical health of individuals undergoing compulsory drug rehabilitation using Meta-Analysis, aiming to provide evidence-based support for improving their physical health.
Key Findings:
Exercise intervention significantly improved physical health indicators in individuals undergoing compulsory drug rehabilitation.
Notable improvements were observed in flexibility (sit-and-reach), balance (single-leg stance), muscular strength (grip strength), and sensorimotor coordination (choice reaction time).
The increase in vital capacity did not reach statistical significance.
Interpretation:
Exercise interventions are effective in addressing specific physical health deficits caused by chronic substance use, suggesting a need for structured exercise programs in rehabilitation settings.
Limitations:
Psychological and neurocognitive outcomes were not included in the analysis.
The study did not assess the long-term effects of exercise interventions.
The lack of diversity in study populations may limit generalizability.
Conclusion:
Exercise interventions should be integrated into drug rehabilitation practices, with recommendations for a combination of aerobic and traditional fitness exercises, at least 3 sessions per week for over 12 weeks.
