Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
It will consist of a randomized controlled trial study. The sample will consist of women in the early postpartum period (6-8 weeks after delivery). Subjects will be randomly allocated to two different exercise programs: hypopressive abdominal exercise program and general strengthening exercise program. Both interventions will have a total duration of 6 weeks (18 sessions), 3 times a week, 30 minutes each session.
To evaluate the effects of the interventions, the subjects will be assessed at pre-intervention (6th-8th week postpartum), immediately post-intervention (12th-14th week postpartum) and at 3-months follow-up (24th-26th week postpartum). Inter-recti distance, abdominal and lumbar muscle thickness, lumbopelvic and abdominal pain and function, pelvic floor dysfunction, and quality of life will be measured.
