Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

In order to increase participants' PFM strength and endurance , PFMT was taught two days a week for 12 weeks. This training included two type of exercises that consisted of fast and slow PFM contractions. Fast Contractions: This exercise was done in sitting position, While participants' arms were on thighs with their feet resting on the floor and sitting unsupported on the back of their seat. They were taught how to quickly contract and relax their PFM. Slow Contractions: The practice position of this exercise was in sitting position as it happened in fast contraction. This training lasted for 12 weeks and it was divided into periods as 1-3 week, 4-6 week, 7-9 week, 10-12 week. In the forth coming weeks of this period, the number of exercise repetitions and the number of sets were increased.

Modified Pilates Exercise

Before starting the 12-week practice protocol, the concept of stabilization was explained to the participants. Participants were taught how to control the core region by using the stabilizer device and the basic principles of pilates. The exercise program was planned that would last 50 minutes. This program was carried out as three-stage and these stages were warm-up phase, main exercise program and cool down phase. The allocated times for the warm-up phase was 10 minutes. The allocated time for the main exercise program was 30 minutes and active resting was done by performing breathing exercises in the 15th minute of the main exercise program. The allocated time for the cool down phase was 10 minutes. Each exercise was done as 10 repetitions then the next exercise was started. The exercises of the second 6 weeks were performed by adding a red elastic exercise band at the beginner-intermediate level, which released 1.7 kg force with 100% stretching.
