“…Using exercise as an adjunctive treatment for addiction is associated with an increase in the number of days abstinent (i.e., lower relapse rates R. A. ; reduction in cravings (De La Garza et al, 2016), reduced mental health symptoms (More et al, 2017), and an overall improvement in quality of life (Muller & Clausen, 2015). Moreover, exercise also has a positive impact on risk factors for addiction relapse such as reducing stress (van der Zwan et al, 2015), decreasing anxiety and depression, and increasing social connections (Morton et al, 2016;Peele & Brodsky, 2000). Since individuals struggling with addiction often experience comorbid mental health disorders (Burrows et al, 2018;Griffiths, 2012;Petry & Weinstock, 2007), mounting evidence shows exercise is beneficial to those experiencing addiction, and could be a laudable addition to addiction treatment plans (Brellenthin & Koltyn, 2016;Kuppili et al, 2018;Stoutenberg et al, 2016).…”

Background Exercise has been recognized as a promising and emerging treatment for individuals recovering from addiction. The purpose of this article was to systematically review scientific studies using exercise as a means to improve, sustain, or treat addictions, and to provide suggestions for the future use of exercise as a treatment method for addiction. Methods Using PRISMA guidelines, a database search was conducted for articles that tested the impact of exercise interventions on addiction-related outcomes. To be included, peer-reviewed experimental design studies had to use human subjects to investigate the relationship between exercise and the treatment of or recovery from addiction. Garrard’s Matrix Method was used to extract data from reviewed articles ( n = 53). Results Nearly three quarters of the studies reviewed documented a significant change in addiction-related outcomes (e.g., more days abstinent, reduced cravings) in response to exercise exposure, particularly while someone was receiving treatment at an in or outpatient clinic. Many studies investigated the effect of acute bouts of exercise on nicotine dependence, and many studies had small sample sizes, leaving room for future research on how exercise might benefit people recovering from substance and process addictions. Conclusion Results affirm that exercise can be a helpful aspect of addiction treatment. Future researchers should investigate different exercise settings (e.g., group-based exercise vs individual) and explore exercise maintenance and the long-term outcomes following discharge from treatment facilities.

“…Due to the importance of sport and fitness, many studies have been carried out to scale most of the topics related to physical activity (Barber, 2007;Elbe et al, 2017;Fenton et al, 2016), national fitness policies (Tan, 2015), exercise and the environment (Thorpe et al, 2021), fitness and health (Grant et al, 2014), recovery and rehabilitation (Morton et al, 2016), multi-activity sports (Gerdin & Pringle, 2017), event marketing (Kurscheidt et al, 2003), neuromuscular and metabolic (Vachon et al, 2020), fitness center business (León-Quismondo et al, 2020), fitness industry (Zhang & Wang, 2012). In addition, several scientometric studies have been conducted regarding the evaluation of sports source titles (Blaginin et al, 2020;Elahi et al, 2020;Kusugal, 2018); positive youth development (Qi et al, 2022); athletic performance (Lombardo & Emiah, 2014); sports science (Yaminfirooz et al, 2014); eSports (Vanegas et al, 2018); sports sociology (Tian & Wise, 2020); sport sciences researchers (Soufi et al, 2018); fitness model (Ke, 2013).…”

Sport and fitness are physical requirements in the same way that humans require food and water. On the other hand, sport and fitness is a highly complex field of study, complicating attempts to define critical terms, resulting in a relative lack of scientometric analysis. The study goal is to look at the development of sport and fitness research around the world, using the Scopus and Web of Science databases as its foundation. Materials and methods. Publications are gathered using the Scopus and Web of Science databases as well as scientometric parameters, including worldwide publication trends, the authors who receive the most citations, the amount of citations, and author keywords. Results. The results show the authors’ keywords analysis was inspected based on their relationship to physical activity, physical exercise, and physical training. The United States was the most active country, with 601 publications. As expected, the United States is a leader in physical activity promotion, with 19.3 percent of the population participating in sports and exercising daily in 2019. The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health from Switzerland leads 68 publications, which is another noteworthy finding. Additionally, according to this analysis, Ortega, F.B., of the School of Medicine, University of Granada, Madrid, Spain, is the author who publishes the most documents with 33 in total. Conclusions. According to our research, the top five keywords that gained traction over the previous two years were "Cardiorespiratory Fitness," "Body Composition," "Health," "Physical Activity," and "Adolescents." The study value to the field of sports and fitness is that it provides readers and upcoming researchers with a wide range of sports and fitness trends from the past and present. Additionally, the study findings will aid future academics in predicting potential industry trends.

“…These four areas are used to explain the variation in different people's ability to recover from alcohol and other drug (AOD)-related problems (Cloud and Granfield 2008). Research has shown that RC is theoretically and practically useful due to its ability to capture both personal attributes as well as context-related preconditions that may increase or decrease an individual's chances and ability to recover from AOD-related problems (Best and Laudet 2010;Groshkova, Best, and White 2013;Morton, O'Reilly, and O'Brien 2016;Skogens and von Greiff 2016). Scientific progress concerning recovery and recovery capital has resulted in an ambition to quantify and measure an individual's level of capital.…”

This article presents the outcome of the first phase in the development of a recovery capital-based assessment tool in a Swedish alcohol and drug treatment context. In the process of studying the potential usefulness of such a tool, other aspects besides psychometric properties and validity have been examined. The experience and knowledge of professionals in the Swedish alcohol and drug treatment context represent the empirical data. Five group interviews have been conducted with staff from different alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Sweden. The respondents were asked to discuss an outlined idea of a recovery capital-based assessment tool. The transcribed interviews were thematically analysed and divided into three themes: the impact and need for assessment and evaluation, the need for flexibility and simplicity, and the role of the professional. The findings indicate that there is a demand for a strength-based tool in the Swedish alcohol and drug treatment context. There was a divergence between the professionalism of the social work practitioners and the use of assessment tools. To meet this divergence, the professionals emphasized aspects such as simplicity and flexibility. The findings indicate that the conditions are favourable for the implementation of a recovery capital tool in a Swedish alcohol and drug treatment context, but certain questions remain unanswered. This requires further cooperation with professionals, and in particular provides them with the possibility to reflect on its usefulness and applicability, while applying it to their daily work and procedures.
