Incontinence and sport
Associate Professor Helena Frawley, FACP - Lead of the women's health physiotherapy research group at Monash University; Head of Allied Health Research and Education at Cabrini Health; PhD University of Melbourne 2008; FACP Specialist Continence and Women's Health Physiotherapist (as awarded in 2011)
Urinary incontinence (UI) in exercising women is common but under-reported and not currently addressed. Research reveals high prevalence rates of UI in nulliparous and parous female athletes, especially those participating in repetitive, high-impact sports – although UI also occurs in sub-elite and recreational exercisers – with negative impact on quality of life and exercise participation. This presentation will explore the magnitude of the problem of UI in exercising and sportswomen (prevalence and impact), how / why does it happen and management options and will highlight knowledge gaps which require further exploration.
