This observational cross-sectional study investigates the impact of equestrian sports, CrossFit, and gym training on pelvic floor health in both athletes and non-athletes. The study aims to determine whether specific sports are associated with a higher risk of pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain.
Participants will complete an online survey that collects demographic information, sports participation details, and pelvic floor health symptoms. The survey includes standardized questionnaires to assess pelvic floor function. Data will be analyzed to compare the prevalence of pelvic floor issues among different sports and between athletes and non-athletes.
The study seeks to provide insights into how sports participation influences pelvic health and to raise awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction in both male and female athletes.
Adults 18 years or older.
Voluntary participation with signed informed consent.
Completion of the online survey.
Minimum 2 years of experience in the sport.
Individuals under 18 years old.
Participants who do not complete the survey.
Individuals with neurological conditions affecting mobility.
Individuals with mobility impairments unrelated to sports.
This study includes adults aged 18 and older who voluntarily participate by completing an online survey on pelvic floor health and sports practice. The study targets both athletes (equestrian sports, CrossFit, gym training, and other sports) and non-athletes to compare the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction across different activity levels. Participants in the sports groups must have at least two years of experience in their respective sport and train at least twice per week. The survey is distributed via social media, sports federations, gyms, and CrossFit centers to ensure a diverse sample. The study aims to provide insights into the impact of sports participation on pelvic floor health and identify potential risk factors for dysfunction.
