Study Details

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.
