研究表明：運動有助于戒煙

Want to quit smoking? Hit the gym.

想戒煙嗎?快去運動吧!

A study released on Tuesday by the American College of Chest Physicians found smokers who combine exercise with nicotine gum or transdermal patches are more likely to quit than those who rely on nicotine replacement therapy alone.

美國胸腔醫(yī)學院本周二公布的一項研究顯示，吸煙者在使用尼古丁口香糖或皮膚藥貼戒煙的同時進行適當?shù)倪\動，比僅采用尼古丁替代療法效果好。

Sixty-eight patients at two Austrian hospitals were randomly assigned either a treatment program that included exercise or one that only used nicotine replacement therapy.

研究人員將奧地利兩家醫(yī)院的68個病人隨機分成了兩組，一組人的治療計劃中加入了運動，而另一組人只用尼古丁替代療法。

After three months, 80 percent of those who exercised had quit smoking, while 52 percent of those in the group that did not exercise had quit.

三個月后，通過運動戒煙的人中有80%成功戒煙，而另一組沒有進行運動的人中只有52%戒了煙。

And those who exercised were more likely to reduce their cigarette smoking if they did not quit, the study found. They also scored better on several tests measuring respiratory health.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，就算運動戒煙者未能徹底戒除煙癮，他們的吸煙量也會大大減少。而且運動戒煙者在其它幾項有關呼吸健康測試中的得分也相對較高。

The study was conducted at Otto Wagner Hospital and Lainz Hospital in Austria.

這項研究是在奧地利的奧托·瓦格納醫(yī)院和廉茲醫(yī)院進行的。
