However, aerobic exercise is often not practical and it is of interest to examine whether non\u2010aerobic exercise has a similar effect. We investigated whether isometric exercise (involving muscular contractions against resistance without movement, e.g. placing the palms of the hands together and pushing) reduces desire to smoke and tobacco withdrawal symptoms. Following overnight abstinence smokers were randomized to 5\u2010min of: isometric exercises (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920), body scanning (focusing attention on sensations in different areas of the body, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920, control), or sitting passively (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920, control). Desire to smoke and tobacco withdrawal symptoms (\u2018irritable\u2019, \u2018depressed\u2019, \u2018stressed\u2019, \u2018tense\u2019, \u2018restless\u2019 and \u2018poor concentration\u2019) were rated at baseline, immediately post\u2010intervention, and 5\u2010, 10\u2010, 15\u2010 and 20\u2010min post\u2010intervention. Isometric exercise produced a significantly greater reduction in desire to smoke versus passive control at immediate post\u2010intervention and 5\u2010min post\u2010intervention, relative to baseline (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Most withdrawal symptoms were significantly moderated by exercise versus controls at some point between 5\u2010 to 20\u2010min post\u2010intervention, relative to baseline (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Brief isometric exercise has potential for offering immediate relief from a desire to smoke.
