Postpartum depression is a common psychological problem in many mothers. However, few studies have investigated the mechanisms involved in it. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate changes in serotonin levels as an indicator of depression and creatine kinase as an indicator of the body's inflammatory response after 8 weeks of functional training. For this purpose, 32 subjects with an age of 31 ± 4.12 years, body mass index of 25 ± 2.6, and 5 ± 1.3 months after the first delivery, participated in the present study using simple and accessible sampling. After being quite informed about the implementation of the research protocol, they were randomly divided into two groups of 16: control and exercise. In order to initially assess the levels of serotonin and creatine kinase in the subjects, 48 hours before and after the exercise protocol, blood samples were collected from the brachial vein of all subjects and sent to the laboratory. The subjects in the exercise group participated in eight weeks of functional training, three days a week, each session lasting 60 to 70 minutes, with an intensity of 60 to 75% of maximum heart rate, and the control group continued their normal lives. T-test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that depression and creatine kinase levels significantly decreased after eight weeks of functional training, and plasma serotonin levels significantly increased. As a result, it seems that part of the positive effects of exercise training on reducing depressive symptoms are due to changes in serotonin and creatine kinase.
