Background: Many heroin-dependent people have defects in cognitive functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on cognitive functions of heroin-dependent men.Materials and Methods: The research method is quasi-experimental and applied in terms of purpose, which was done by pretest-posttest with the control group. Thirty heroin addicts from the Addiction Treatment Center in Tehran participated in study as a sample and were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Participants performed semantic strop and n-back working memory test in the pre-test. The participants of the experimental group performed resistance training sessions 3 times a week for 8 weeks in a circular manner consisting of three sets of 8-12 repetitions consisting of 6 movements with rest intervals of 1-2 minutes between sets and 3-5 minutes between movements. Finally, after the intervention, the post-test was performed. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the variables of neutral semantic strop (f(1.27)=5/53 p=0.026), positive (f(1.27)=14/75 p=0.001), negative (f(1.27)=6/18 p=0.019) and working memory (f(1.27)=5/29 p=0.029). Due to the difference in means, in working memory, the performance of the experimental group was higher and also the semantic strope reaction time (neutral, positive and negative) was lower in the experimental group.Conclusion: In a general conclusion, it can be stated that a course of resistance training has a positive effect on cognitive functions (semantic strope and working memory) in heroin-dependent men.

Introduction: Temperamentology is a branch of traditional Iranian medicine that scientists from this field have hypothesized in different periods of time in different areas of medicine,One of these areas is addiction.The purpose of this study was to compare the mizaj(temerament) in addicted and healthy subjects in Sabzevar city. Materials and Methods: A randomized stratified sampling in two groups healthy and addicted in sabzevar city. Mojahidi's standard questionnaire mizaj was used for collecting data. collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 22 software. Results: Because of the significance level of the hypotheses greater than 0.05 and the value of T less than 1.96, it can be said that there was no significant difference between the components of warmth, moderation, coldness in the two groups, and between the components of the wetness, moderation ,dryness also There was no significant difference. In general, According to the studies there was no significant difference between the temperament of addicted and healthy people. Conclusion: In the general review of the questionnaire, there was no statistically significant difference between the mizaj of addicted and non-addicted subjects. In a one-by-one questions of questionnaire review, obesity and more moisture, small palms and more feeling cold of addicted people were significantly more than non-addict subjects.
