Article Synopsis
- Pelvic floor disorders affect about 25% of women and can lead to conditions like Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), which can be treated with PF muscle training (PFMT) and hypopressive breathing (HB).

- The results showed PFMT was more effective for increasing pelvic strength, but HB was better at enhancing quality of life, with both techniques showing similar results for muscle contractility.
