The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of urinary incontinence (UI) in women who practice crossfit. This was a cross-sectional study with women aged between 18 and 35 years, who had been practicing crossfit for at least six months without interruption, and at least three times a week. Individual assessment questionnaires were used, composed of sociodemographic, anthropometric and exercise data, as well as the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) to identify the presence of UI. The frequency and amount of urine loss and UI interference in quality of life (QoL) were also identified via ICIQ-IU-SF. These women also responded to a questionnaire about the severity of UI. The total sample of the study was 50 women, of whom 10 (20%) had UI. Most incontinent women had moderate UI and mild interference in QoL. Moreover, we observed an association between having UI history and presenting UI (PR=5.33, 95% CI=1.41 to 20.10). Given the above, we concluded that the frequency of UI in female crossfit athletes was 20%, with UI being mostly of moderate severity and mild interference in QoL.
