More recently, developments have been made in the examination of the acute effects of short bouts of moderate/high intensity exercise and moderating effects on cravings and withdrawal symptoms amongst abstaining smokers. Further research has found that low intensity isometric exercise can have similar effects (Ussher et al 2007) and a recent study examined five minutes of low intensity exercise compared to high (Daniel 2006). As yet no research has examined these exercise conditions within one study.
