Summary

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of long-term aerobic exercise of moderate intensity on psychological, physiological, biochemical, physiological and alcohol-related parameters in heavy drinkers, in order to investigate possible biochemical mechanisms by which exercise may be a healthy alternative to alcohol abuse.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise training program

Supervised 8-week exercise training program. Aerobic exercise (walking, jogging) of increasing duration at 50-60% HRR, at least two sessions per week. Participants will be recording their daily alcohol consumption. Participants will also undergo three trials of acute exercise (before, at the 4th week and at the 8th week of exercise training) in order to investigate whether exercise training can lead to changes in acute responses to exercise. Each trial involves 30 min of exercise on a cycle ergometer at 50-60% HRR.
