Do High-Impact sports raise the risk of leakage? study investigates
NCT ID NCT07710508
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study looks at whether high-impact sports, like running or jumping, are linked to urinary incontinence in young adults aged 18 to 35. Researchers compare six groups: men and women who do high-impact sports, those who are physically active but avoid high-impact activities, and those who are sedentary. Participants fill out questionnaires and undergo strength and jump tests to see how activity levels and sex relate to bladder control.
