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: The PFM training decreased hip adductors PT and improved PFM functions and UI, which is a longitudinal and prospective exploratory study.
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training is the most common treatment for urinary incontinence (UI), however many women performed the contraction of PFM with associated contraction of abdominal, gluteus and hip adductors muscles. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training on isometric and isokinetic hip adductors peak torque (PT) among women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a longitudinal and prospective exploratory study. This study included 15 physically active women aged 45 years old and over, who presented complaints of UI. The PFM function (digital evaluation and perineometry), isometric and isokinetic hip adductors PT and one hour pad test were performed before and after treatment. The PFM training was performed in group, one hour once a week for 12 sessions. RESULTS: Significant improvement of PFM function and pressure level (p = 0.003), and significant decrease of hip adductors isometric PT and one-hour pad test, were found post-treatment. Moderate negative correlations between PFM contraction pressure and hip adductors isokinetic PT for dominant side (DS) (r = -0.62; p = 0.03) and non-dominant side (NDS) (r = -0.64; p = 0.02); and between PFM fast fibers contraction and hip adductors isometric PT for DS (r = -0.60; p = 0.03) and NDS (r = -0.59; p = 0.04) were also found. CONCLUSIONS: The PFM training decreased hip adductors PT and improved PFM functions and UI.

TL;DR: A fisioterapia é essencial no tratamento da incontinência urinária por promover percepção corporal, devolver e melhorar a função dos músculos perineais, além of normalizar a tonicidade muscular.
Abstract: The prevalence of urinary incontinence is greater in women, physically active and high-performance athletes due to the great effort performed during physical training. The aim of this study is to define the role of physical therapy in urinary incontinence in women who practice physical activity, demonstrating how the main physical therapy treatment techniques used to treat this dysfunction that directly or indirectly interferes in the quality of life of those who suffer from this pathology. Methodology: This is a literature review study, a literature review was carried out in the Bireme databases, the Latin American and Caribbean Literature Database in Health Sciences (LILACS), in the Scientific Electronic Library Online databases (SciELO) and Scholar Google (Google Scholar). Results: Physiotherapy is essential in the treatment of urinary incontinence as it promotes body awareness, restores and improves the function of the perineal muscles, in addition to normalizing muscle tone, helping women to regain good urinary continence, thus improving their quality. of life. Conclusion: there are several physiotherapeutic modalities that can help to improve the function of the pelvic outbreak muscles, including electrical stimulation, kinesiotherapy, vaginal cones, biofeedback and behavioral re-education, containing various resources and techniques that can be used to improve health levels pathology and consequently having a positive effect on the quality of life of patients. However, the benefits of this conservative treatment are given not only by a single therapeutic modality, but by the association of different forms and resources of treatment available according to the complaint and symptoms presented and the good adherence and evolution of each woman.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the quality of life related to urinary loss in women who practice jump and found that the more time spent on jump practice, the worse self-perceptions of general health (r = 0.340; p < 0.05), more limitations in tasks performance, and more physical limitations.
Abstract: Aim: To analyze the quality of life related to urinary loss in women who practice Jump. Method: The sample was composed by 59 women, Jump practicing for at least 3 months, 20 to 40 years old. Results: The average age of the participants was 29 (± 5.7) years old. The average period of jump practice was about five months three times a week. There was a prevalence of 66.1% of urinary incontinence in the studied women. In the correlation of quality of life, measured by the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ), with the variable period of jump practice, we can observe that there was a significant and positive association, because the more time spent on practicing, worse self-perceptions of general health (r = 0.340; p < 0.05), more limitations in tasks performance (r = 0.368; p < 0.05) and more physical limitations (r = 0.328; p < 0.05). Also, using correlation analysis, became possible to detect that the jump practice for more than 3 months, by incontinent women, may negatively affect their quality of life in relation to those who practice up to 3 months. Conclusion: It has been identified a high prevalence of UI among women who practice jump, however this factor did not influence negatively in the quality of life among the evaluated women.

TL;DR: The study results showed the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the common diseases among Saudi women and the variables of educational level, the nature of the profession, the social status, the justification of the practice of physical activity and some variables.
Abstract: This study aimed to detect the common diseases among Saudi women and their relationship with the level of physical activity and some variables. This study was applied to 1233 Saudi woman in different regions of the Kingdom, and adopted to explore the common diseases: obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol and asthma. The study results showed the existence of a statistically significant relationship between the common diseases among Saudi women and the variables of educational level, the nature of the profession, the social status, the justification of the practice of physical activity, the rate of participation in physical activity per week, the practice of physical activity in relation to asthma and the number of children with regard to obesity. The study provided a number of recommendations including: the need to strengthen the role of culture in promoting physical activity by women, through health education via the health centers in the Kingdom.

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
