Summary
This study tests whether 8 weeks of combined resistance breathing training and aerobic exercise can improve physical health and quality of life in male drug rehabilitation patients. Ninety men aged 18-50 will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: combined training, breathing training alone, or aerobic exercise alone. Researchers will measure changes in cardiopulmonary function, muscle strength, anxiety, depression, and quality of life before and after the program.
