The goal of this observational, cross-sectional study is to examine the relationship between training intensity and awareness of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) among female student athletes aged 18-25 years who are actively engaged in gymnastics, volleyball, football, or basketball.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare the four sport groups (gymnastics, volleyball, football, basketball) to determine whether training characteristics and sport-specific demands influence LUTD prevalence and symptom severity.
Participants will:
Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6)
International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) Contentment with Life Scale
Demographic and lifestyle questions (e.g., training duration, intensity, fluid intake, menstrual regularity, sleep, stress).
The study aims to contribute to early detection and prevention strategies for pelvic floor health issues in young female athletes.
Female university athletes aged 18-25 years who are actively training and competing in gymnastics, volleyball, football, or basketball at Marmara University and Istanbul Galata University in Türkiye. Participants must be healthy, without known pelvic pathology, and currently engaged in organized sports training.

Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6)
self-administered Likert-type questionnaire designed to evaluate the presence and severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction symptoms.Total scores range from 0 to 18, and are converted into percentages for interpretation. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms and a greater negative impact on quality of life.
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Short Form (ICIQ- SF)
Used to assess the impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life and treatment need. It includes four items addressing the frequency of urinary incontinence, Amount of leakage, Overall impact on daily life and Self-diagnostic item. Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms and greater impairment of quality of life.
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
Contentment with Life Assessment Scale (CLAS)
The scale consists of 5 items rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree). Higher scores indicate greater life satisfaction.
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Calculated as weight (kg) / height² (m²). Classified according to WHO standards.
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
Demographic and training characteristics checklist
Collected using a custom-designed questionnaire including: Demographic data (date of birth, academic department, year of study, body weight, height, sports branch, age of starting the sport) Training information (weekly frequency, duration, and intensity)
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
Competition participation and achievements checklist
Type and level of competitions, national team status, awards within the past year
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
Lifestyle and menstrual health variables
Collected using self-report questions assessing daily activity level, sitting time, sleep duration and quality, fluid intake, menstrual regularity, and stress levels.
Time frame: Day 1 (Single assessment at one time point during participation)
