Researchers have found treatments to help people recover from SUD and lead productive lives. Exercise therapies have been approved to be effective on executive function, physical fitness, and cravings in men with SUD. Exergaming, which involves physical activity through interactive video games, has attracted considerable interest due to its ability to provide a fun and engaging aerobic workout while stimulating cognitive functions. However, despite its popularity in recreational settings and its potential to promote physical fitness and cognitive well-being, the use of exergaming as a therapeutic modality for SUD remains relatively underexplored.
