Brief Summary

Effects of an exercise program based on hypopressive exercises in the female population.

Conditions

Pelvic Floor Disorders; Postural; Defect; Muscle Weakness

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postural control

  Postural control was evaluated by means of a stabilometric platform of resistive pressure sensors (Sensor Medica, Rome, Italy).

  From baseline to 10 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Pelvic floor muscles strength

  From baseline to 10 weeks.

• Self-reported pelvic floor status

  From baseline to 10 weeks

• Urinary incontinence

  From baseline to 10 weeks

• Transversus abdominis activation

  From baseline to 10 weeks.

• Pulmonary ventilation

  From baseline to 10 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Hypopressive exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients completed 10 weeks of abdominal hypopressive exercises with two sessions of 30 minutes per week.

Other: Hypopressive exercises

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients allocated to the control group did not receive any treatment.

Interventions

Hypopressive exercises OTHER

The first two sessions will have as objective the correct and effective learning of the hypopressive technique. The rest of the sessions will be dedicated to the realization of an exercise protocol based on a progression of postures from standing to supine. Diaphragmatic apneas of approximately 7 seconds will be performed, alternating each apnea with three breaths.

Hypopressive exercises
