- Title
Commentary on: "The relationship between running kinematics and the pelvic floor muscle function of female runners".
- Authors
El-Hamamsy, D.
- Abstract
"Kinematics" is the description of movements regardless of the forces associated with them. This study examines whether specific running kinematics are associated with reduction in pelvic floor muscle function and urinary incontinence. Although specific risk factors apply to athletic incontinence such as the weekly training load and hypothalamic amenorrhoea with intense exercise, urinary incontinence remains multifactorial.
