Abstract: The pelvic floor (PF) is made of muscles, ligaments, and fascia, which ensure organ statics, maintain muscle tone, and are involved in contractions. This review describes the myofascial relationships of PF with other parts of the body that determine the proper functions of PF, and also provides insight into PF disorders and the factors contributing to them. PF plays an important role in continence, pelvic support, micturition, defecation, sexual function, childbirth, and locomotion, as well as in stabilizing b… Show more

“…In addition to these situations with a breath-dependent coordinated or dyssynergic interplay between the different muscle groups, it should also be noted that some people present an increased tone and persistently concentric co-contraction of both the PFMs and the abdominal muscles not only during strenuous endurance training [ 3 , 56 ]. There is little data available on this topic, thus, the interpretation is rather hypothetical.…”

“…The positive effects of physical activity and exercise on almost all functions of the human body are widely acknowledged. However, the scientific literature suggests that the female pelvic floor (PF) may be exempt from these benefits in many cases [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. In this regard, sports and high-intensity physical activities have been subject to debate as potential risk factors for developing PF disorders, particularly in intensely physically active women [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”

“…In addition, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect individuals as early as high school and across the life span (14,15). The pelvic floor is important for lumbopelvic stability as well as movement mechanics and subsequent force production.…”
