Adding aerobic exercise to cognitive behavioural therapy for men with heavy drinking, metabolic syndrome, and impotence

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Forty men meeting criteria for heavy drinking, metabolic syndrome, and impotence will be enrolled and split into two groups of 20. Both groups will receive cognitive behavioural treatment three times per week (30 minutes per session) for 12 weeks. One group will also undertake supervised aerobic treadmill walking for 50 minutes three times per week for 12 weeks. Outcomes will compare the combined intervention to CBT alone to see if adding exercise yields greater improvements in drinking behavior, metabolic measures, and sexual function.
