general exercise

The participants will receive training sessions twice a week for 8 weeks. General exercise includes aerobic exercise (stationary bike) and resistance training (thera-band, sandbags, dumbbell and swiss ball), and the intensity and progression of both aerobic and resistance exercises will be provided as recommended by the ACSM, and the exercise will individualized based on participant's HRR, 1 RM weight and Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion Scale (Borg RPE scale). An oximeter will be utilized to monitor the heart rate and SPO2 of the participants to ensure safety during the training session.

OTHER

pelvic floor muscle training

Participants will do pelvic floor muscle training in different positions. Each session includes three sets of eight to twelve maximum voluntary contractions of pelvic floor muscle, with holding the contraction for 6 to 8 seconds, and if possible, to do three fast contractions at the end of each set.
