| Hypopressive exercises | Other | The first two sessions will have as objective the correct and effective learning of the hypopressive technique. The rest of the sessions will be dedicated to the realization of an exercise protocol based on a progression of postures from standing to supine. Diaphragmatic apneas of approximately 7 seconds will be performed, alternating each apnea with three breaths. |

An independent assessor blinded to the data collection was responsible for the allocation process. A list of the computer-generated number was employed to assign participants to experimental or control group
|
To assess self-reported status the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-Short Form was administered.
| From baseline to 10 weeks |
| 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 |
| Transversus abdominis activation | Transversus abdominis thickness during contraction was assessed by real time ultrasound imaging. | From baseline to 10 weeks. |
| Pulmonary ventilation | A forced spirometry test was employed to assess pulmonary function. | From baseline to 10 weeks |
