Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

New mothers experience postpartum depression after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Postpartum depression typically begins within the first two to three days after delivery and may last for up to several weeks or months. Activity and mobility are an integral part of human life that is manifested in a special way in each period. Postpartum life has caused lack of movement, the risk factor of depression and difficulty in maternal life. Resistance training (RT) is one of the most popular methods of exercise for improving physical fitness. A logical approach to treatment, therefore, would be to improve postpartum life. Flexibility exercises are not just for gymnasts, but rather for everyone. Along with the better range of motion, it decreases risks of injuries, increases blood supply and nutrients to joints, reduces muscular tension and help to improve quality of life.

This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Subjects meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will divide into two groups. Data will be collected from Jinnah Hospital Lahore, Family Health hospital, Johar town. After informed consents were obtained, data will collect. After taking written consent from participants who meet the inclusion criteria, 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. Pre-treatment assessment and Post treatment reading will be done using Exercises self-efficacy scale, Epidemiological studies Depression scale and MAPP-QOL (Maternal Postpartum Quality Life Questionnaire) as subjective measurements. Recorded values will be analyzed for any change using SPSs version 25.
