Aerobic Capacity and Regular Physical Exercise among Tobacco Smokers

Dr. Maha S. Almohannadi1, Dr. Anees Alyafei2*

Background: The Aerobic capacity is a well-recognized indicator for cardiopulmonary fitness, which is affected by many factors, including tobacco use. Tobacco smoking is also known for its toxic effects on the cardiopulmonary system. Thus, aerobic capacity change is an exciting area for discussion among tobacco smokers, parallel to the cardiopulmonary effect. There is significant agreement that aerobic capacity is reduced in tobacco smokers and improves by regular physical exercise in a dose-related manner. Few scattered studies showed minimally or no effect of physical exercise on aerobic capacity. Further clinical trials need to assess the impact of physical exercise and related improvement & suppresser factors on the aerobic capacity among tobacco smokers.
