Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed as two-groups, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week exercise program added to usual treatment compared with a health education program in 20 cocaine dependent patients. These participants will be randomized to one of the following two groups: a) exercise group: supervised moderate-vigorous exercise in group based on strength and calisthenics exercises, b) control group: supervised health education in group. All participants must have DSM-IV diagnosis of cocaine dependence as the primary disorder and must be in treatment.
