- Abstract
Introduction: Urinary Incontinence is a pelvic floor dysfunction and affects women of all ages. Physical activity has several benefits; however, the pelvic floor may be the only area of the body in which its positive effect can be questioned. CrossFit® is a training program of high impact that involves aerobic and anaerobic exercises. This activity has a motivational and challenging character and has been gaining millions of followers worldwide. Objective: To review the studies published in the last 5 years regarding pelvic floor dysfunctions in athletes practicing CrossFit®. Methods: Integrative literature review carried out by searching the Pubmed, Bireme (Lilacs, Medline, Scielo), Science Direct and PeDro databases, between the years 2015 to 2020. Results: 6 articles applicable to the eligibility criteria were included. The studied population are women aged 16 to 75 years practicing CrossFit®. In the methodological evaluation, the studies were considered weak to moderate and only one strong. Conclusion: This study observed a significant prevalence of urinary incontinence in CrossFit® practitioners; this dysfunction seems to be related to a delay in the activation of the pelvic muscles when required during exercises.
