The return to running of female soccer players postpartum: timing, prevalence of pelvic floor disorders and urinary incontinence
The current research found in the indexed literature underscores knowledge gaps related to the research objectives.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation finds indications through guidelines in the pre and postpartum phases. This finds a primary prescription to reduce the incidence of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic girdle dysfunction.
