TL;DR: An internationally developed, consensus-based tool that aims to assess the quality of exercise therapy programmes studied in RCTs is proposed: the international Consensus on Therapeutic Exercise aNd Training (i-CONTENT) tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of regular exercise on blood pressure in normotensive pregnant women. A randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: Aerobic exercise reduced resting systolic BP in healthy former inactive pregnant women in a single-blind, single-center, randomized controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress urinary incontinence, physical activity and pelvic floor muscle strength training
TL;DR: SUI can be effectively treated with pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength training, however, more than 30% of women with SUI are not able to contract the PFM correctly at the attempt and need thorough individual instruction and feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
An intra- and interrater reliability and agreement study of vaginal resting pressure, pelvic floor muscle strength, and muscular endurance using a manometer
TL;DR: Manometry (Camtech AS) seems less accurate for the strongest women and in clinical practice, significant improvement in PFM variables needs to exceed the minimal detectable change to be above the error of measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urinary incontinence and disordered eating in female elite athletes
TL;DR: Athletes with disorderedeating were three times more likely to present urinary incontinence than women without disordered eating, and there is a need for further studies to elaborate on mechanisms for this association.
