Description
Demeco and co-authors published a 2024 review of pelvic floor training for urine leakage in female athletes. Leakage is strikingly common in high-impact sports, reportedly reaching 80 percent, yet conservative care in young sportswomen was little mapped. Searching five databases, the team distilled over a thousand hits to six studies on young, childless sportswomen.
Personalized pelvic floor muscle training worked: urine loss fell, contraction strength rose, and quality of life and sports performance improved. Gains were best under a physical therapist's supervision. Athletes often stay silent about leakage from embarrassment. The authors therefore urge adding education to pre-season programs as prevention. They present supervised training as the first-line answer for this group.
