Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A protocol of pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) in elite athletes was applied. They will do it for 4 months. Then re-evaluated.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The athletes of the Portuguese national female's volleyball team were evaluated through perineometry, pad-test and Kings health questionnaire. They were taught a plan of pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) to perform for 4 months. After this time they will be re-evaluated with the same measuring instruments.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

Volleyball team will be evaluated in two moments, at the beginning and 4 months after the PFMT. After 4 months, to compare with the control group and to evaluate if there are differences between groups, namely muscle strength
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
The participants do not know that there is a control group and an intervention group

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)

Experimental group will perform for 4 months a PFMT

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PFMT is a protocol of exercises for prevention and treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence in elite females athletes, volleyball team

Pad test

The experimental and control group will perform the pad test twice. At the beginning of the evaluation and 4 months after the PFMT. The modified pad test, has the durability of a workout (2h30min)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pad test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pad test is a standardised test for quantifying urine loss. Pad test is not invasive and provide an easy, inexpensive and objective assessment of urine loss.

Kings Health Questionnaire

Kings Health Questionnaire to assess the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life of women. Both groups will complete the questionnaire.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

perineometer

Both groups will perform perineometry at baseline and 4 months after

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
