Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training and recreational physical activity on the physical and mental health of individuals recovering from substance use disorder. The outcome will be assessed through anthropometric, cardiovascular, and quality-of-life evaluations performed before and after the 12-week intervention. Changes in body mass, body mass index, body adiposity index, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, heart rate, and SF-36 questionnaire scores will be observed | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the presence of physical exercise and leisure-time physical activity in treatment protocols for substance use disorders in Brazilian therapeutic communities.
