Abstract

Despite the benefits derived from exercise practice, some adverse effects have been described in female athletes. Regarding the problems associated with the pelvic floor, the most commonly reported is urinary incontinence (UI). However, menstrual irregularity, anal incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and eating disorders are also demonstrated among athletes. Practicing sports always involves increased intra-abdominal pressure, but the wide prevalence range of UI found between each sport suggests that some sports could be associated with higher risk than others. Regarding the relation between exercise and pelvic floor dysfunctions, two opposite theories have been suggested: (i) female athletes have strong pelvic floor muscles (PFM); and (ii) female athletes may overload, stretch, and weaken the PFM. Both theories are supported by the results of different studies, suggesting that the mechanism behind exercise-induced UI is not yet completely understood. Rather than a single factor, it is more likely that several environmental and individual factors interact to contribute to pelvic floor dysfunctions. UI negatively affects the quality of life of incontinent women in several domains, which reinforces the need to implement preventive strategies in order to counteract the negative effects of exercise.
