Summary

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a supervised aerobic exercise program for persons with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Participants will be enrolled in a 12-week supervised aerobic exercise intervention.

Detailed description

The overall project goals are to test the feasibility and acceptability of our aerobic exercise intervention with this population. Study participation will include a screening and enrollment phase, a baseline assessment, and a 12-week intervention. Participants will be recruited and consented by University of Florida (UF) study staff.

Conditions

• Opioid Use Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Supervised Exercise Intervention	Exercise duration will be gradually increased as tolerated to 50 min/session, with intensity ramping up to 65-75% HRmax by week 3. On-site exercise sessions will occur along a pre-marked walking path, and a trained staff member will walk alongside the participant to monitor their heart rate. Speed will be manipulated to achieve desired intensity and to sustain heart rate in the target zone. Heart rate will be monitored and recorded via telemetry during the on-site exercise sessions. Step cadence (i.e., steps/minute) will also be monitored and recorded during the on-site sessions and discussed with participants as a way to understand and track their speed when completing off-site walking sessions on their own.
