Volume of Training and the Ranking Level Are Associated With the Leakage of Urine in Young Female Trampolinists

Conclusions: The results confirm a high frequency of UI in young trampolinists and reveal a clear identification of the athletes' ranking and the training volume as risk factors to develop and worsen urine loss. Clinical Relevance: Special attention from team physicians and trainers is required for this athletes' problem that is often hidden by shame. In addition, female athletes practicing high-impact sports should be informed about the risk to develop pelvic floor muscles dysfunction and should be encouraged to seek help from health professionals to minimize or even eliminate the urine incontinence.
