The pelvic floor is a crucial complex for many bodily functions, supporting the pelvic organs and contributing to urinary and anal continence, as well as sexual function. Dysfunction of this structure can lead to a variety of disorders, including urinary incontinence (UI), a common problem in women. Although the prevalence of UI in middle-aged women has been documented at between 20% and 30%, high-impact physical activities, such as certain sports and running, increase the risk of UI. According to the most recently published meta-analysis, the prevalence is 44% [95%CI 30.2-57.8]. Although this subject is often taboo, it can have psychosocial consequences and affect sporting activities. Only 31.7% of female runners talk to a health professional about it. Trail running, a fast-growing discipline, differs from road running in its particular physical demands, which could influence the occurrence of pelvic floor disorders (PFD) and exercise-induced UTIs. The unique characteristics of trail running, such as the technical nature of the terrain, the steep gradients and the variety of distances, place intense demands on the female pelvi-perineal system. Nevertheless, despite the growing popularity of this sport, little epidemiological data exists on the prevalence of stress UTI and pelvic floor disorders among female trail runners.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Pelvic floor dysfunction assessment questionnaire adapted from PFD-Sentinel
Prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)
The prevalence will be determined by determining the proportion of female trail runners reporting Stress urinary incontinence and/or Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction out of the total population of trail runners who responded to the questionnaire.
Time frame: 6 months
Identify the risk factors associated with SUI and PFD in French trail runners.
Identification of the relative risks of the various suspected risk factors using a multiple logistic regression model
Time frame: 6 months
To assess the impact of SUI and PFD on the sporting activities and daily lives of French trail runners
The various repercussions listed in the questionnaires will be presented in terms of the percentage of women affected and their 95% confidence interval. The averages of the visual analog scale associated with their parameters of dispersion in order to evaluate the impact of SUI on everyday life and in their sporting activities will also be presented.
Time frame: 6 months
Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2025, 6 months after the start.
Of 39 non-industry observational studies under Urinary Incontinence, Stress, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 107. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 48 studies reached it within 45 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 107.
