The effect of eight weeks of combined training on some indicators of muscle damage, inflammation and antioxidants in women addicted to methamphetamine and heroin

The present study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of combination training on some indicators of muscle damage, inflammation and antioxidants in addicted women. Therefore, in a quasi-experimental research project, among addicted women with a mean age of ۲۸.۳۴ ± ۶.۷ years, a weight of ۶۲.۰۶ ± ۱۰.۲۴ and a body mass index of ۲۴.۱۰ ± ۲.۹۳ from an addiction treatment camp, ۱۶ They were voluntarily selected and randomly assigned to combined exercise and control groups. Blood samples were taken before and after the training protocol. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to examine the natural distribution of data and independent and correlated t-test was used for comparison between groups and within groups at a significant level of α <۰.۰۵. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of muscle and antioxidant damage (P <۰.۰۵). And TAC values in the training group were not significant to the control group (P <۰.۰۵). Combining combined exercises increases antioxidant capacity in addicted women, so combined exercises can be used as a treatment strategy for these people.
