Kegel exercises has withstood the test of time and remains the first-line, conservative treatment for urinary incontinence; but technology has come a long way and now there are many mobile devices designed to improve the ability of the pelvic floor to contract and relax – key motor skills that might not be working as well as they used to.

We want to learn whether such technology can help women who lift weights avoid peeing themselves during their workouts without messing up their training time and quality. Do you lift heavy, but accidental leakage gets in the way of training your best? We’re inviting women ages 18 and above who are active in strength sports (Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting. strongwoman events) to join our study!

We want to see if pelvic floor muscle training can help reduce or even stop urine leakage during your workouts. We’ll compare two methods – one through pelvi-gaming with a biofeedback device  and the other with traditional Kegel exercises. Pelvic floor muscle training is a conservative treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which is a common issue among women lifters. And the biofeedback device? It’s like having a personal helper to guide you through the exercises and provide real-time feedback. Throughout the 12-week study, you’ll keep an eye on any changes in your urine leakage and SUI symptoms and how these exercises affect your training and overall quality of life.

So, if you’re ready to take control and potentially say goodbye to those inconvenient leaks, sign up for our study! We’ll send you further details about it.

Your strength journey deserves to be leak- and worry- free!
