ABSTRACT

Objective:

to verify the effectiveness of the pelvic floor muscles rehabilitation program (PFMRP) in female volleyball athletes, analyzing the amount and frequency of urinary leakage.

Methods:

experimental study. The sample consisted of 32 female athletes from Famalicão Athletic Volleyball Club (Portugal). The athletes were selected by convenience and distributed randomly into two groups experimental group (EG = 16 athletes) and the control group (CG = 16 athletes). The EG underwent PFMRP for three months. The PFMRP was the awareness and identification of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), pre-timed PFM contraction prior to occasions of increased intra-abdominal pressure, and 30 daily contractions of MPP at home. The CG had only access to the pamphlet. The assessment instruments included the questionnaires, the Pad Test (amount of urinary leakage) and frequency record of urinary leakage (7-day diary) before and after PFMRP.

Results:

the amount of urine leakage decreased in 45.5% of athletes under PFMRP intervention, and in 4.9% of athletes in CG, with statistical differences between the groups (p < 0.001). The reduction in the frequency of urinary leakage was 14.3% in EG, and 0.05% in CG, a statistically significant difference between the groups (p < 0.001).

Conclusion:

PFMRP in this study was effective to reduce stress urinary incontinence in female volleyball athletes. The program allowed significant improvement of symptoms of quantity and frequency of urinary leakage. .
RESUMO

Objetivo:

verificar a eficácia do programa de reeducação dos músculos do pavimento pélvico (PRMPP) em atletas femininas de voleibol, analisando a quantidade e a frequência das perdas urinárias.

Métodos:

estudo experimental. A amostra foi constituída por 32 atletas do sexo feminino do Atlético Voleibol Clube de Famalicão (Portugal). As atletas foram selecionadas por conveniência e distribuídas aleatoriamente em dois grupos o grupo experimental (GE = 16 atletas) e o grupo-controle (GC = 16 atletas). O GE foi submetido ao PRMPP durante 3 meses; o programa consistiu na conscientização e identificação dos músculos do pavimento pélvico (MPP), na pré-contração dos MPP ao aumento da pressão intra-abdominal, e em 30 contrações diárias dos MPP no domicílio. O GC teve acesso unicamente ao panfleto. Os instrumentos de avaliação englobaram os questionários, o pad-test (quantidade de perda urinária) e o PRMPP.

Resultados:

a quantidade de perda urinária diminuiu 45,5% no GE, com intervenção do PRMPP, e 4,9% nas atletas do GC, verificando-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos (p<0,001). Na frequência das perdas urinárias, a redução foi de 14,3% no GE e de 0,05% no GC, verificando-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos (p<0,001).

Conclusão:

o PRMPP, nessa amostra, foi eficaz na incontinência urinária de esforço em atletas do sexo feminino de voleibol, pois permitiu melhorar significativamente os sintomas de quantidade e frequência das perdas urinárias. .
