“…2 Exercícios que possam fortalecer o core e os MPP, como Pilates e Yoga, têm sido explorados como potenciais alternativas, mas os dados ainda são insuficientes. [47][48][49][50] De facto, Bø et al já tinha reportado uma taxa de IU nas professoras destas modalidades semelhante à da população geral, ainda que a maioria das participantes neste estudo praticava outras modalidades em simultâneo. 51 Num trabalho de 2018, a autora em conjunto com Kruger et al, concluiu que os MPP apenas contraiam 30% a 50% de uma contração em contexto de PFMT, durante a ativação de outros grupos musculares (como abdominais e glúteos), pelo que se questiona a eficácia terapêutica e o impacto que as co-contrações podem ter nos MPP.…”

Introduction: Urinary incontinence affects up to one third of women in Portugal. Exercise can be a precipitating/aggravating factor but also protective, if appropriate. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women who practice recreational exercise, to assess its relationship with the type of exercise and other coexisting risk factors, and assess whether the topic is addressed in gyms.Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study using self-reported questionnaires in gyms in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.Results: Two hundred and ninety women completed the questionnaires. From these, 67.6% were under 40 years old, 25.2% reported incontinence, and 53.4% had at least one risk factor unrelated to exercise. There was a statistically significant association (p < 0.05) between incontinence, obesity and constipation. High impact exercises were included in the training of 62.1% continent and 50.9% incontinent women. The topic of incontinence and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles was addressed in only 5.5% in the initial assessment, 9.7% in collective training, and in 13.5% of the 37 women with individualized training.Discussion: The higher proportion of continent women - compared to incontinent - who practiced strenuous exercise suggests that this might be a provocative factor for some, although there was no statistically significant association between incontinence and type of exercise.Conclusion: Urinary incontinence affects women who practice recreational exercise, regardless of age and exercise characteristics. It is rarely addressed in gyms, and it is necessary to raise the awareness of professionals to enhance the preventive/therapeutic effects of exercise on the function of the pelvic floor and in the control of modifiable risk factors.

“…To achieve the outcome, we would like to improve mindfulness training techniques which include sitting meditation, body scan, Hatha yoga, walking mediation as well as bladder and pelvic floor muscle training. These practices were conducted either alone or in combination with other interventions) [ 16 ]. The informal practices in this study were implemented through home-based practice using a CD with meditation instruction [ 17 ].…”

Purpose There have been few studies using mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to improve sexual function in Asian women with breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mindfulness intervention on female sexual function, mental health, and quality of life in patients with breast cancer. Methods Fifty-one women with breast cancer were allocated into 6-week MBSR ( n =26) sessions or usual care ( n =25), without differences in group characteristics. The research tools included the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), and the EuroQol instrument (EQ-5D). The Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) was used to verify the foregoing scale. The effects of MBSR were evaluated by the differences between the post- and pre-intervention scores in each scale. Statistical analyses consisted of the descriptive dataset and Mann-Whitney ranked-pairs test. Results Although MBSR did not significantly improve sexual desire and depression in patients with breast cancer, MBSR could improve parts of female sexual function [i.e., Δarousal: 5.73 vs. -5.96, Δlubrication: 3.35 vs. -3.48, and Δsatisfaction: 8.48 vs. 1.76; all p <.005], with a range from small to medium effect sizes. A significantly benefits were found on mental health [Δanxiety: -10.92 vs.11.36 and Δstress: -10.96 vs.11.40; both p <.001], with large effect sizes, ranging from 0.75 to 0.87. Conclusion Our study revealed that MBSR can improve female sexual function and mental health except for sexual desire and depression in women with breast cancer. Medical staff can incorporate MBSR into clinical health education for patients with breast cancer to promote their overall quality of life.

Movement therapy refers to a broad range of Eastern and Western mindful movement-based practices used to treat the mind, body, and spirit concurrently. Forms of movement practice are universal across human culture and exist in ancient history. Research demonstrates forms of movement therapy, such as dance, existed in the common ancestor shared by humans and chimpanzees, approximately 6 million years ago. Movement-based therapies innately promote health and wellness by encouraging proactive participation in one’s own health, creating community support and accountability, and so building a foundation for successful, permanent, positive change.
