Pelvic floor function in elite nulliparous athletes [PDF]
Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2007 AbstractObjectiveThere is preliminary evidence linking long‐term participation in high‐impact exercise with poor performance in labor and increased incidence of stress urinary incontinence, which may be due to altered pelvic floor function. Recent work has shown that HIFIT (high‐impact, frequent intense training) athletes have an increased cross ...
