Intervention

Other:
• Hypopressive exercises
The first two sessions will have as objective the correct and effective learning of the hypopressive technique.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Postural control	Postural control was evaluated by means of a stabilometric platform of resistive pressure sensors (Sensor Medica, Rome, Italy).	From baseline to 10 weeks.
Secondary	Pelvic floor muscles strength	The assessment of the overall contractility of the striated pelvic floor musculature was evaluated according to the modified manual scale Oxford.	From baseline to 10 weeks.
Secondary	Self-reported pelvic floor status	To assess self-reported status the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-Short Form was administered.	From baseline to 10 weeks
Secondary	Urinary incontinence	To determine the presence and improvement in urinary incontinence the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form was employed.	From baseline to 10 weeks
Secondary	Transversus abdominis activation	Transversus abdominis thickness during contraction was assessed by real time ultrasound imaging.	From baseline to 10 weeks.
Secondary	Pulmonary ventilation	A forced spirometry test was employed to assess pulmonary function.	From baseline to 10 weeks
