Online Education Program in Sportswomen for the Prevention of Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can be defined through its symptoms as the involuntary loss of urine when carrying out an activity or effort that implies an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP).Perineal dysfunctions are a widespread problem among the sportswomen population. Therefore, a continuous exposure to exercises that entail a high intra-abdominal pressure such as that which occurs in high-impact sports in women.As seen in other studies in which pelvic floor educational programs were taught; advice and guidance focused on perineal health education helped participants improve knowledge, symptoms, and quality of life, as well as reduce the incidence of SUI.For these reasons, it is relevant to carry out a prevention and education program in the female population who play high-impact sports, since they have a high prevalence of SUI.
