I .h3" Physical Activity Evidence from the 1985 NHIS. the 1987 BRFSS, and other cross-sectional studies suggests that smokers are less likely than nonsmokers to make regular exercise part of their lives (Goldbourt and Medalie 1975: Schoenborn and Benson 1988: Martin and Dubbert 1982). These differences may be the consequence of cessation and result partly from changes in physiologic function, such as lung function, that make exercise more pleasurable or tolerable for former smokers compared with current smokers (Castro et al. 1989). They also may retlect the former smokers' efforts to maintain abstinence. Blair and colleagues (1980) found mixed results in their studies of workers in a South Carolinacompany. Among men living within a 0.5 mile of work, current smokers were less likely than never smokers to walk to work. Among women, former smokers were more likely than either never smokers or current smokers to walk to work. (Mean duration of abstinence for former smokers was not reported.) There were no significant differences between smoking categories in other measures of physical activity, such as time spent sitting, use of stairs versus elevator, level of leisure time versus physical activity. and participation in a company exercise program. However. many measures for former smokers were between those of current smokers and never smokers. The 1985 NHIS used 2 measures of physical activity, the perception of being less physically active than others and a more rigorous definition of sedentary behavior based on subjects' reports of participation in 23 leisure activities during the preceding 2 weeks (Schoenbom and Benson 1988). The perception of being less physically active was significantly more common among current smokers than former smokers and never smokers (Table 3). When separated by sex. these differences appear to be greater for men than for women. Men who were former smokers were significantly less likely to report being sedentary than current smokers and not significantly different from never smokers. Among women. former smokers were significantly less likely than current smokers and never smokers to be sedentary. In two studies among Navy personnel. Conway and Cronan (1988a.b) studied the relationship among smoking. exercise. and physical fitness. The first study (Conway and Cronan 1988a) included 3.035 Navy personnel randomly selected from a group who volunteered to participate in an evaluation of physical fitness and health.

Current smokers exercised for significantly less time per session and had significantly lower overall physical fitness scores compared with never smokers or former smokers. In a second study. the same authors examined the association between physical fitness and smoking among 1,357 Navy men (Conway and Cronan 1988b). Again, current smokers had poorer levels of physical fitness with lower scores than former smokers or never smokers on tests of cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance. Overall, never smokers performed better than former smokers and current smokers. In both studies, participants were young, with an average age of 26 years (study 1) and 28 years (study 2). suggesting that both decrements associated with smoking and improvements associated with quitting can appear at an early age. A cross-sectional study of 78 1 runners found that as mileage increased, the percentage of self-defined former smokers also increased (Macera, Pate, Davis 1989). These investigators suggested that high-mileage runners seemed to quit smoking at a higher rate than low-mileage runners. Although the sample size was probably too small to show significant differences and the data were cross-sectional, the results support both empirical and anecdotal data about the relationship between abstinence from smoking and increased participation in exercise. Gordon and Polen ( 1987) studied 1,061 men and women who participated in smoking cessation clinics at Kaiser Permanente medical facilities from 1980 to 1983. Men and women who had increased their exercise after program participation were more likely to be abstinent from smoking 7 to 12 months later. These studies suggest that increasing exercise may be part of a former smoker's efforts to remain abstinent, a direct consequence of cessation, or both. The study by Gordon and Polen ( 1987) lends support to the first hypothesis. The 1987 BRFSS allows a comparison among current smokers, never smokers, and former smokers on a range of health practices (Table 5). Two measures of physical activity were used. One asked a very general question about any physical activity in the past month, including nonaerobic activities, such as gardening. as well as major aerobic activities. The second identified sedentary lifestyle as the lowest category on a complex scale of life activities. On both measures. men and women who had quit smoking were more active than nev'er smokers. who were in turn more active than current smoLer\. Among men, those who had been smoke-free for more than 5 years here significantly more active and less sedentary than neu quitters, those who had been abstinent less than I year. This difference was not significant among women. Prospective investigations of changes in physical activity after smoking cessation have indicated either no change or an increase in activity (Chapter IO). An additional prospective study focusing on exercise specifically. rather than weight changes, also found increased exercise among quitters. In a l-year study of a large worksite population, Orleans and associates ( 1983) found that 71 recent ex-smokers (mean abstinence, 7 months) significantly increased their self-rated levels of activity compared with 347 continuing smokers (~~0.01) and that the ex-smokers achieved significant increases (p smohers smoher5 Total smokers wwkers smokers Total Chewing tobacco Never Former Current Snufl Never Formrr Current Pipe Never Former Current Cigars Never Formrr Current 100.0 IWO 93.X 96.7 4.2 I .x 2.0 I .s Y5.Y Y3.3 2.4 I.1 1.7 I .6 01.1 Yl.4 7.3 I .7 I .6 0.x 8Y.X 02.0 X7.6 02.5 7.3 5.x x.3 4.
