- Abstract
Frequently occurring health symptoms in the population of varying age is incontinence. Stimulus for its occurrence includes coughing, sneezing, laughing. The research underscores the presence of these different stimuli among a group of women up to 60 years of age (65.1% women) and over 61 years of age (76 % women). The dominant stimuli, which cause urinary incontinence in the group of women who have participated in sport activities, have been identified as group sneezing and standing up of bed. On the other hand, the prevailing factors in the group of women who have not participated in sport activities have been found sneezing together with coughing. The physical activity, as the secondary prevention of urinary incontinence, should focus on strengthening the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles. It has been found, that the women involved in sport regularly strengthen the muscles by exercising sit-ups (43 %) and Pilates exercise (24 %) in comparison with the women not involved in sport (20 %, respectively 9 %). The difference between these two groups has been statistically significant.
