TL;DR: The physical education professional has a basic role in the adequate orientation of exercises transforming this practice into a urinary incontinence preventive intervention among physically active women.
Abstract: The urinary incontinence is defined as "every involuntary loss of urinary". It happens with women more frequently, and is mainly caused by childbirths and gestations that can injure the muscles responsible for the women continence. Indeed, it is very common women who practice physical activities and sports to present incontinence. Many of these women abandon their activities to prevent discharging urine during these practices which causes shame, embarrassment besides interference with the performance during the exercise. There is no research that argues this subject in the area of the physical education. The objective of this study consisted in a bibliographical revision about urinary incontinence, analyzing its relation with physical activities and sports for women, the impact caused by the incontinence in these practices, and in what form the physical education professional can facilitate a more comfortable and safe practices to these women. The literature data on this subject is very recent, but they are enough to evidence that the physical and sport practices of exercises demanding a lot of efforts and high impact can lead to the urinary incontinence. The women who do not abandon their activities because of this incontinence use some strategies to prevent the discharge of urine, as the use of absorbents and water restriction. The physical education professional has a basic role in the adequate orientation of exercises transforming this practice into a urinary incontinence preventive intervention among physically active women.

TL;DR: There are evidences that the incidence of these pathologies, plus other health conditions, including diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, some cancers, obesity, the maintenance of body mass index (BMI) and hypertension, can be reduced by encouraging a more active life style, based on a constant and regular physical practice.
Abstract: Aerobic exercises, as well as those for muscle strength and flexibility, might play a positive role in preventing and treating heart diseases, hypertension, osteoporosis, obesity and diabetes, to name a few, especially when practiced on a regular basis, under supervision and properly adapted to each individual (Carrol & Dudfield, 2004). Furthermore, the benefits brought by physical activity reach as far as the emotional aspects of the individual and help prevent the negative effects of stress, reduce tensions, enhance mood, lower the symptoms of stress and anxiety (Gorayeb & Turibio, 1999), and, eventually, improve health and boost the quality of life. According to the American Heart Association, the lack of physical activity can lead to a higher mortality and morbidity rate (America Heart Association, [AHA], 2007) Disengagement in physical activities is quite often associated to sedentary habits which might lead up to degenerative-chronic diseases, offering great risk to the population as a whole (Who, 1995). There are evidences that the incidence of these pathologies, plus other health conditions, including diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, some cancers, obesity, the maintenance of body mass index (BMI) and hypertension, can be reduced by encouraging a more active life style, based on a constant and regular physical practice.

TL;DR: Achados desse estudo sugeriram que a pratica regular de exerci-cios fisicos pode predisposition os sinais e sintomas of Incontinencia Urinaria Urinarial de Esforco as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Atualmente sabe-se que a pratica de exercicios fisicos e benefica para a saude. Todavia, quando praticada excessivamente pode favorecer o desenvolvimento de Incontinencia Urinaria de Esforco, desordem que acomete principalmente mulheres. Objetivo: Demonstrar os sinais e sintomas da Incontinencia Uri-naria de Esforco em mulheres de 25 a 50 anos, praticantes de atividades fisicas em academias. Materiais e Metodos: Estudo transversal de Analise Quantitativa e Levantamento de dados atraves de 2 ques-tionarios, aplicados em uma amostra de 50 mulheres. Resultados: Foi verificada uma incidencia de sintomas de perda urinaria ao esforco em 36% das mulheres, totalizando 18 entre as 50. Das 18 mulheres que perdem urina ao esforco 94,44% relataram perda durante o exercicio. Conclusao: Os achados desse estudo sugeriram que a pratica regular de exerci-cios fisicos pode predispor os sinais e sintomas de Incontinencia Urinaria de Esforco.

TL;DR: In el periodo de Noviembre de dos mil dieciseis hasta Febrero de two mil diecisiete, basada en el tema de this articulo, se realizó una revision de la literatura, in el periodóreo de November 14, 2018, to Februaryrero, 2019, to March 7, 2019 as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Introduccion: Al realizar actividad fisica se adquieren muchos beneficios para el cuerpo de la persona que entrena, dando como resultado un mejor acondicionamiento fisico y consecuentemente, una mejor calidad de vida. Sin embargo, las personas que tienen como profesion el realizar actividad fisica, como en el caso de los atletas, pueden presentar algunas desventajas en relacion al exceso de actividad fisica, como la incontinencia urinaria. Metodologia: Se realizo una revision de la literatura, en el periodo de Noviembre de dos mil dieciseis hasta Febrero de dos mil diecisiete, basada en el tema de este articulo. Se utilizaron las siguientes bases de datos: Scientific Electronic Library (SCIELO), Literatura Latino-Americana y del Caribe en ciencias de la Salud (LILACS), Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS). En la busqueda se utilizaron las siguientes palabras clave, con sus respectivas combinaciones: incontinencia urinaria y deporte; incontinencia urinaria, fisioterapia, deporte, incontinencia urinaria y actividad fisica. Resultados: Se excluyeron 37 articulos ya que no estaban en idioma portugues y posteriormente,10 mas se excluyeron por estar repetidos. Los demas articulos fueron analizados y se descartaron 20 que no trataban especificamente de la incontinencia urinaria y la actividad fisica y/o no estaban completos. De esta forma, fueron seleccionados 9 articulos para el presente estudio. Conclusion: En este estudio se concluyo que a pesar de que la literatura afirma que la actividad fisica presenta beneficios para la salud, por otro lado, se observo que existe la prevalencia de IU en mujeres que practican actividades fisicas en diferentes modalidades e intensidades.

TL;DR: Despite the small number of participants with urinary loss during physical activity, there are no conclusive studies yet, which report pelvic floor damage associated with the practice of it, and the urinary incontinence stress was the predominant type in the sample.
Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of symptoms of urinary incontinence in the elderly practitioners of physical activities. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 123 elderly (100 women and 23 men) with mean age of 69.4±6.12 years. For data collection, a questionnaire regarding age, sex, presence of comorbidities, physical activity and questions about urinary incontinence was used. Results: There was a predominance of urinary incontinence stress (50.0%), followed by mixed urinary incontinence (26.6%) and urinary incontinence urgency (23.4%). Only 10.4% of elderly reported symptoms of loss of urine during physical activity. Discussion: The urinary incontinence stress was the predominant type in the sample, contrasting with literature. Despite the small number of participants with urinary loss during physical activity, there are no conclusive studies yet, which report pelvic floor damage associated with the practice of it.

TL;DR: Considering the diverse samples in this study, IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18- to 65-yr-old adults in diverse settings.
Abstract: CRAIG, C. L., A. L. MARSHALL, M. SJOSTROM, A. E. BAUMAN, M. L. BOOTH, B. E. AINSWORTH, M. PRATT, U. EKELUND, A. YNGVE, J. F. SALLIS, and P. OJA. International Physical Activity Questionnaire: 12-Country Reliability and Validity. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 8, pp. 1381-1395, 2003. Background: Physical inactivity is a global concern, but diverse physical activity measures in use prevent international comparisons. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was developed as an instrument for cross-national monitoring of physical activity and inactivity. Methods: Between 1997 and 1998, an International Consensus Group developed four long and four short forms of the IPAQ instruments (administered by telephone interview or self-administration, with two alternate reference periods, either the "last 7 d" or a "usual week" of recalled physical activity). During 2000, 14 centers from 12 countries collected reliability and/or validity data on at least two of the eight IPAQ instruments. Test-retest repeatability was assessed within the same week. Concurrent (inter-method) validity was assessed at the same administration, and criterion IPAQ validity was assessed against the CSA (now MTI) accelerometer. Spearman's correlation coefficients are reported, based on the total reported physical activity. Results: Overall, the IPAQ questionnaires produced repeatable data (Spearman's clustered around 0.8), with comparable data from short and long forms. Criterion validity had a median of about 0.30, which was comparable to most other self-report validation studies. The "usual week" and "last 7 d" reference periods performed similarly, and the reliability of telephone administration was similar to the self-administered mode. Conclusions: The IPAQ instruments have acceptable measurement properties, at least as good as other established self-reports. Considering the diverse samples in this study, IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18- to 65-yr-old adults in diverse settings. The short IPAQ form "last 7 d recall" is recommended for national monitoring and the long form for research requiring more detailed assessment. Key Words: MEASUREMENT, SURVEILLANCE, EPIDEMIOLOGY
