Abstract
Introduction: The practice of high-impact and high-intensity physical activities is one of the factors related to urinary incontinence (UI) in women. Objective: This systematic review aimed to verify the prevalence of UI in Crossfit® women practitioners. Methodology: Observational studies published in the Scielo, PubMed, Embase and Scopus databases were included, using the search terms "pelvic floor disorders", "urinary incontinence", "CrossFit®" and "pelvic floor", in Portuguese and English. Results: After screening following the PRISMA protocol, 7 articles were included. The results found indicated an average prevalence of 36%, being considered significant in Crossfit® women practitioners, and the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) being higher compared to other groups. Furthermore, it has been observed that women with a greater training volume are those most affected by this condition. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this review, it can be concluded that CrossFit® is an aggravating factor for the occurrence of UI and SUI, with a considerably high prevalence in the practicing female population. Therefore, Physical Education professionals must be prepared to deal with this situation, from prescribing preventive exercises to providing correct guidance and referring the practitioner to the appropriate professionals when necessary.
