Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this \[type of study: exercise intervention study\] is to test in describe participant health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* \[Whether physical exercise improves executive function of male heroin addicts\]
* \[Whether physical exercise improves negative thinking/affect psychological experience of male heroin addicts\] Participants will be randomly selected for medium-intensity strength training (resistance exercise,n=30), 30 will be selected for 1-hour long balloon volleyball sessions (aerobic exercise) at 60-70% volume of oxygen uptake during peak exercise, weekly 5 times for 12 weeks; and 30 will be assigned to the no-exercise control group, Participants will perform Executive function tests and the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised questionnaire at pre and post intervention.

Researchers will compare resistance exercise group,aerobic exercise group and no-exercise control group to see if effects of exercise on executive function and negative thinking/affect psychological experience of male heroin addicts.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1.Aerobic exercise

play balloon volleyball for Aerobic exercise and aimed at maximizing the strain on the cardiovascular system (60-70% of heart rate recovery). Aerobic exercise intervention five times a week, one hour each time,for three months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic exercise; Resistance exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

To investigate affect/effect of dissimilar modes of exercise, Aerobic exercise versus Resistance exercise, on execution function and psychological symptoms in heroin addicts, 1 hour of characteristic exercise protocols aiming to (a) maximize the strain on the cardiovascular system with Aerobic exercise(60-70% of heart rate recovery) and (b) promote the greatest hypertrophy response with Resistance exercise(65% of 1 repetition maximum \& repeated up to 15 time) were used. Both exercise programs were designed to match the male heroin addicts, with medium-intensity Strength-Trained for Resistance exercise and playing balloon volleyball for Aerobic exercise. Two exercise groups performed at 65% of their pre-determine peak oxygen uptake.

2.Resistance exercise

Resistance strength training for Resistance exercise and aimed at promoting the greatest hypertrophy response(65% of 1 repetition maximum and repeated up to 15 times). Resistance exercise intervention five times a week, one hour each time,for three months.
