简要总结
This comparative pre-post intervention study investigates the feasibility and benefits of Kegel exercises amongst incontinent women, prior to commencing resistance training, to reduce the risk of stress urinary incontinence compared to a group of women without prior Kegel exercises.
详细描述
The aim of the study is to determine whether a program of Kegel exercises prior to a resistance training program will result in reduction of stress urinary incontinence and whether this should be prescribed to incontinent women prior to performing resistance training. It is hypothesized that performing kegel exercises prior to resistance training would improve pelvic floor muscle strength and reduces the odds of experiencing SUI during resistance training.
