Mood changes have been reported to occur in many women following pregnancy. It is well documented that exercise is associated with reductions in state anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study was to assess mood changes in the postpartum period in women who exercised compared to women who did not exercise.
All of the women who volunteered for this study had delivered a baby within the past year (mean = 12 wks; SD = 4 wks). Twenty women volunteered to complete the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Profile of Mood States before and following either an exercise session (N = 10) or a quiet rest session (N 10). Exercise consisted of 60 min of low-impact aerobic activity at an intensity between 60-70% of maximal heart rate reserve. Quiet rest consisted of sitting quietly in a room free from distractions for 60 min. Data were analyzed with 2 x 2 ANOVA.
Results indicated that state anxiety and depression decreased significantly (p < 0.05) following exercise and quiet rest. Furthermore, exercise was associated with significant decreases (p < 0.05) in total mood disturbance, as well as significant increases (p < 0.05) in vigor in physically active postpartum women.
据报道，许多女性在产后会出现情绪变化。有充分的文献记载，运动与状态焦虑和抑郁的减轻有关。本研究的目的是评估运动的女性与不运动的女性在产后的情绪变化。
所有自愿参加本研究的女性在过去一年内分娩（平均 = 12周；标准差 = 4周）。20名女性自愿在一次锻炼课程（N = 10）或安静休息课程（N = 10）之前和之后完成状态-特质焦虑量表和情绪状态剖面图。锻炼包括60分钟的低强度有氧运动，强度为最大心率储备的60%-70%。安静休息包括在一个没有干扰的房间里安静地坐60分钟。数据用2×2方差分析进行分析。
结果表明，锻炼和安静休息后，状态焦虑和抑郁显著降低（p < 0.05）。此外，运动与产后运动活跃的女性的总情绪困扰显著降低（p < 0.05）以及活力显著增加（p < 0.05）有关。
