Impact of social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the mood profile of active and sedentary older adults: physical activity as a protective factor.

Thus, the objective of the study was to analyze the impact caused by social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic on the mood states of active and sedentary older adults.

Comparison of urinary incontinence, based on pelvic floor and abdominal muscle strength, between nulliparous female athletes and non-athletes: A secondary analysis.

Aims: To compare the strength of abdominal and pelvic floor muscles (PFM) between nulliparous female athletes (FAs) and non-athletes (FNAs), to determine the frequency of urinary incontinence (UI) in these groups.

Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study of nulliparous women included 39 professional FAs, who competed at the district level or above, and 34 FNAs. Participants underwent pelvic floor and abdominal muscle assessments.
