Pelvic Floor Muscle Training in female CrossFit and functional fitness exercisers

The intervention will consist of a home-based PFM training program with weekly follow-up by phone by a physiotherapist. Before commencing PFM training, the participants in the intervention group will have an individual session with a physiotherapist including thorough teaching on how to perform a correct PFM contraction (clinical exams of pelvic floor muscle function by observation and vaginal digital palpation) and instructions on how to perform the training program. The program consists of 3 sets of 8-12 maximum contractions per day. An electronic app (Athlete monitoring) will be used to assess adherence to the program. The participants will be asked to register their training sessions in a personal account. A reminder to adhere to the program will be sent by phone. The training period will be 16 weeks and the exercises will take approximately 10 minutes per day to perform.
