- Title
Addicted to Exercise.
- Abstract
The article discusses a study which showed that rats given a drug that produces withdrawal in heroin addicts went into withdrawal after running excessively in exercise wheels. The scientists at Tufts University believe that excessive running shares similarities with drug-taking behavior. They argue that if excessive exercise is addicting, then maybe, addict could take moderate exercise instead of drugs to feel good.
