Official title
Effects of a Multimodal and Multidimensional Intervention on Urinary Incontinence in Young Nulliparous Female Athletes. Single-Center Randomized Controlled Stepped-Wedge Trial
Overview
A prevalence of urinary incontinence ranging from 5.7% to 80% has been observed in young nulliparous athletes during their activity. The usual recommendations for managing adult women do not seem to be transferable. Young nulliparous athletes need specific educational and behavioral interventions and an alternative to pelvic floor muscle strengthening. A multimodal and multidimensional intervention for athletes and coaches combining specific pelvic health education and strengthening of lumbopelvic-abdominal stability appears to be an innovative and optimal solution for reducing the symptoms of urinary incontinence in young nulliparous women who participate in athletics.
Interventions
- Other Combined pelvic health education and lumbar-pelvic-abdominal stability strengthening programme.
The intervention will consist of participants: i) reviewing educational content (8 educational videos online) ii) participating in two in-person sessions at the athletics club and performing lumbar-pelvic-abdominal stability exercises iii) learning and implementing recommendations for empowering themselves in pelvic health management. iv) complete reports in 6 questionnaires during follow-up. - Other Usual activities
