Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to know the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female badminton athletes compared to sedentary women, and the hypothesis is that the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions is going to be higher in female badminton athletes.
Detailed Description
After being informed about the study, all participants giving written informed consent will complete the personal data questionnaire and the questionnaires validated to Spanish population "International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form" (ICIQ-SF), "Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form" (PFDI-20), "Female Sexual Function Index" (FSFI) and the SF-12 questionnaire. After that, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assessed, and participants will be allocated into cases and controls group. Both groups will undergo the same procedures. Firstly, the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse signs will be performed by using the cough stress test and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System; and secondly, the evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength by using manometry.
