Exercícios físicos de alto impacto e incontinência urinária em mulheres jovens: revisão integrativa da literatura

Resumo: Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined as the complaint of involuntary loss of urine through physical exertion, sneezing or coughing. The study aimed to understand a treatment for urinary incontinence related to high-impact exercise practice in young women. Method: A descriptive exploratory study was carried out, developed from the integrative review method. Scientific articles published between the period 2020 and 2021 were selected. Of the 88 approved studies, 10 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was identified that the ages of the participants varied considerably, so that the average age of the participants ranged from 18 years old to 43 years old. The mean of the population per study was evaluated at 119.9 women per study analyzed. Review: The results collected were related to women who practiced physical activities, such as rhythmic gymnastics, CrossFit, BodyPump, including in the sample women who were in the process of resuming physical activities after delivery. It was not identified that high-impact physical activities are the direct cause of SUI. There was a correlation between women who practice physical activities with impact and the incidence of this type of incontinence. There are no conventional and fully indicated treatments for this pathology in female women who practice sports. Final considerations: The training of pelvic tissue muscle strengthening was reported in studies with promising rates for the control of SUI, with no known adverse effects, and may thus be for women who practice these activities.
