Difference in Incontinence Prevalence Between High Impact Athletes, Low Impact Athletes and Sedentary Subjects
Enrolling by invitation
Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence (UI), Urinary Incontinence , Stress
In brief
This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between participation in high-impact sports, physical activity level, and urinary incontinence in young adults. The study will compare six groups based on sex and physical activity level: male and female high-impact sports participants, physically active males and females who do not participate in high-impact sports, and sedentary males and females. Participants aged 18-35 years will undergo a single assessment including sociodemographic and medical information, physical activity assessment, urinary incontinence questionnaires, sport-related characteristics, psychosocial questions regarding the influence of social taboos on questionnaire responses, lower-limb muscle strength testing using a load cell, and vertical jump performance assessment. The study aims to describe the prevalence, severity, type, and impact of urinary incontinence across different activity levels and sexes, and to explore potential associations with lower-limb strength, jump performance, and sport-related characteristics.
