Heavy Weightlifting Has Minor Immediate Impact on Pelvic Floor Morphometry in Vaginally Parous Women, Study Finds
This study investigates the immediate effects of heavy weightlifting on pelvic floor morphometry in premenopausal, vaginally parous women who are asymptomatic and trained. The findings suggest that a single heavy lifting session may induce small, immediate morphometric changes in the pelvic floor, with only minor impact on organ support, as indicated by stable measures of the bladder neck, rectal ampulla, and vaginal wall. The research addresses a gap in understanding how exercise-based heavy lifting affects pelvic organ support in women at risk of pelvic organ prolapse.
Key quotes
Exercise-based heavy lifting has been suggested to challenge pelvic organ support, yet no study has investigated this in women at risk of pelvic organ prolapse.
In asymptomatic, trained, premenopausal, vaginally parous women, a single heavy lifting session may induce small immediate pelvic floor morphometric changes, with minor impact on organ support.
Stable bladder neck, rectal ampulla, and vaginal wall measures were observed following the lifting session.
