Summary

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of exercise of different intensities on psychological, physiological, biochemical, physiological and alcohol-related parameters in individuals with alcohol use disorders (heavy drinkers and alcoholic patients) in order to investigate possible biochemical mechanisms by which exercise may be a healthy alternative to alcohol abuse. For that purpose, a control group of individuals that do not exceed the limits for moderate alcohol use will be included.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The effects of acute exercise in heavy drinkers

A group of heavy drinkers and a group of healthy controls (individuals without alcohol use disorders) will cycle on a cycle ergometer for 30 min at 50-60% of HRR. Before and immediately after exercise blood will be drawn and psychological and physiological parameters will be measured.

BEHAVIORAL

The effects of acute exercise in alcoholic patients

A group of alcoholic patients (10-14 days after detoxification) and a group of healthy controls (individuals without alcohol use disorders) will cycle on a cycle ergometer for 30 min at 55-60% of HRmax. Before and immediately after exercise blood will be drawn and psychological and physiological parameters will be measured.
