Background: Depression is a mood disorder in which the individual experiences feelings of sadness, lack of pleasure, and discouragement. In light of the increasing rate of depression, especially among tertiary-educated individuals, this paper aims to investigate the effect of resistance exercises on occupational performance areas and depression score in individuals with academic education in Isfahan, Iran.Methods: Convenience nonprobability sampling was performed in this study. The Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) were completed before and after the intervention by the experimental group (n = 40) and control group (n = 40). Based on the designed protocols, resistance exercises were performed for 8 weeks, 3 days per week for 1:30 hours. During the first week after the intervention, the BDI-II and COPM were completed once more. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. All P-values of equal to or less than 0.001 were considered significant.Findings: The paired t-test results showed significant differences in performance (P < 0.001), satisfaction (P< 0.001), and depression (P < 0.001) in the experimental group before and after the intervention. The independent t-test results showed significant differences between the two groups in terms of performance (P < 0.001), satisfaction (P < 0.001), and depression (P < 0.001) after the intervention.Conclusion: The results showed that 8 weeks of resistance exercises can effectively reduce depression severity and improve performance and satisfaction among adults with academic education in Isfahan.
