To investigate the prevalence of low back, pelvic girdle, and pelvic floor complaints in pregnant elite athletes.
Common symptoms during pregnancy include low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. There has been minimal investigation around the prevalence of these musculoskeletal disorders in the pregnant elite athlete.
A narrative review was conducted using electronic databases and hand reference searching. Articles were screened based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
727 articles were retrieved digitally, while hand and reference searching yielded one article. After removing those that did not fit the inclusion/exclusion criteria, there were a total of three articles.
Prevalence of these conditions in pregnant elite athletes is variable within the literature. The values appear to change based on trimester, parity, and description of these conditions. Similarly, frequency, duration, and type of exercise may also influence the prevalence. Further investigation is warranted to help guide safe participation in elite sport activity during pregnancy.
调查精英运动员孕期下背部、骨盆带及盆底不适的患病率。
孕期常见症状包括下背痛、骨盆带疼痛及盆底功能障碍。针对精英运动员孕期这些肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率,相关研究极少。
通过电子数据库及手工参考文献检索进行叙述性综述。根据纳入/排除标准筛选文章。
通过数字检索获得727篇文章,手工及参考文献检索获得1篇文章。剔除不符合纳入/排除标准的文章后,共纳入3篇文章。
文献中关于这些情况在精英运动员孕期的患病率存在差异。其数值似乎因孕期、产次及对这些情况的描述而异。同样,运动的频率、持续时间及类型也可能影响患病率。有必要进行进一步研究,以指导孕期安全参与精英体育活动。
