Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference of the pelvic floor muscles function, ranked by Modified Oxford Scale, during maximal voluntary contraction before and after the strengthening protocol. Difference in the electrical activity of the abdominal muscles measured by electromyography during maximal voluntary contraction before and after performing the strengthening protocol. | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Check for increased contractility of the pelvic floor muscles through electromyographic activity of surface (method that evaluate muscle function) in all groups. Observe through electromyography if there are changes in coactivation between the muscles of the pelvic floor and transverse abdominal / internal oblique after training. | — |
