Özet

Hypothesis / aims of study The relation between pelvic floor muscles and abdominal muscles allows the protection of urinary continence under increased urethral pressure (1). It was seen that abdominal muscle co-activation contributed to pelvic floor muscle contraction (2, 3). Sapsford et al. reported that pelvic floor muscles became activated during abdominal muscle contraction and the opposite was true, in other words, abdominal muscles became activated during pelvic floor muscle contraction (3). Two contractions have been defined in the literature for abdominal muscle training namely the hollowing and bracing maneuvers. The hollowing maneuver is used for Pilates exercise training and the bracing maneuver is used during stabilization exercises. It was mentioned that pelvic floor muscles contracted in both of these exercise types. Pelvic floor muscle contraction and anal contraction methods are used during pelvic floor muscle training. This study was aimed to determine which of the four different contraction methods enabled pelvic floor muscle function the most and to determine the exercises that should be prioritized while creating an exercise program.
