Wikander, L, Kirshbaum, MN, Waheed, N, and Gahreman, DE. Urinary incontinence in competitive women weightlifters. J Strength Cond Res 36(11): 3130-3135, 2022-Urinary incontinence has the potential to diminish athletic performance and discourage women from participating in sport and exercise. This study determined the prevalence and possible risk factors for urinary incontinence in competitive women weightlifters. This research was a cross-sectional, survey-based study completed by 191 competitive women weightlifters. The frequency and severity of urinary incontinence was determined using the Incontinence Severity Index. Urinary incontinence was defined as an Incontinence Severity Index score >0. The survey questions focused on risk factors, the context and triggers for urinary incontinence, and self-care strategies. Approximately, 31.9% of subjects experienced urinary incontinence within 3 months of completing the survey. Incontinence Severity Index scores were significantly correlated with parity ( r = 0.283, p = 0.01) and age ( r = 0.216, p = 0.01). There was no significant correlation between the Incontinence Severity Index score and the number of years participating in any form of resistance training ( r = -0.010, p = 0.886) or weightlifting ( r = -0.045, p = 0.534), body mass index ( r = 0.058, p = 0.422), or competition total ( r = -0.114, p = 0.115). The squat was the most likely exercise to provoke urinary incontinence. Although the number of repetitions, weight lifted, body position, and ground impact may increase the likelihood of urinary incontinence occurring during a lift, it is difficult to determine which factor has the greatest influence. Some self-care strategies used by competitive women weightlifters who experience urinary incontinence, such as training while dehydrated, have the potential to diminish athletic performance.
威肯德、L、柯什鲍姆、MN、瓦希德、N 和加雷曼、DE。竞技女子举重运动员中的尿失禁。J 力量与调节研究 36(11)：3130-3135，2022-尿失禁有可能降低运动员的表现，并使女性对参与运动和锻炼望而却步。本研究旨在确定竞技女子举重运动员中尿失禁的患病率和可能的危险因素。这是一项横断面、基于调查的研究，共有 191 名竞技女子举重运动员完成了这项研究。尿失禁的频率和严重程度通过失禁严重程度指数来确定。尿失禁定义为失禁严重程度指数得分>0。调查问卷的重点是危险因素、尿失禁的背景和触发因素，以及自我护理策略。大约 31.9%的受试者在完成调查后 3 个月内经历过尿失禁。失禁严重程度指数评分与产次（r=0.283，p=0.01）和年龄（r=0.216，p=0.01）呈显著相关。失禁严重程度指数评分与任何形式的抗阻训练年限（r=-0.010，p=0.886）或举重年限（r=-0.045，p=0.534）、体重指数（r=0.058，p=0.422）或比赛总成绩（r=-0.114，p=0.115）均无显著相关性。深蹲是最有可能引发尿失禁的运动。虽然重复次数、举起的重量、身体姿势和地面冲击力可能会增加举重过程中发生尿失禁的可能性，但很难确定哪个因素的影响最大。一些经历过尿失禁的竞技女子举重运动员使用的自我护理策略，如脱水训练，有可能降低运动表现。
