Brief Summary

New mothers experience postpartum depression after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Resistance training (RT) is one of the most popular methods of exercise for improving physical fitness. This study will be a randomized clinical trial. It divide into two groups. Data will be collected from Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Family Health hospital, Johar town. Data will be taken from 36 postpartum females. Participants will be divided into 2 groups 18 women in each group: 1st group will be treated with resistance training group and 2nd group will be active comparison flexibility training group. In this study Exercises self-efficacy scale, Epidemiological studies Depression scale and MAPP-QOL (Maternal Postpartum Quality Life Questionnaire) will be used as subjective measurements.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Exercise self efficacy

  A 9-item questionnaire that focuses on the self-efficacy expectations for exercise for older adults; specifically the ability to continue to exercise despite barriers. The participant is asked about their confidence level, on a scale from 0 (not confident) to 10 (very confident)

  8 weeks

• Epidemiological studies Depression scale

  The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a brief self-report questionnaire developed in 1977 by Laurie Radloff to measure depressive symptoms severity in the general population

  8 weeks

• MAPP-QOL ( Maternal Postpartum Quality Life Questionnaire)

  Maternal Postpartum Quality of Life (MAPP-QOL) questionnaire, which is a self-administered instrument that measures quality of life during the early postnatal period. 12 The MAPP-QOL is composed of five domains and demonstrates convergent validity with measures of life satisfaction and mood states.
