Pelvic floor health is an often overlooked, but critically important aspect of female athlete health and performance. Despite increasing awareness, many athletes, coaches, and practitioners remain unaware of how common pelvic floor dysfunction is among female athletes and how significantly it can impact both performance and quality of life.In this episode of Clinically Pressed, Andrew Jagim sits down with Dr. Lisa VanWiel (University of Wisconsin–La Crosse) to discuss pelvic floor health in female athletes, with a particular focus on urinary incontinence, one of the most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Research suggests that 60–70% of female athletes experience some degree of urinary incontinence, particularly in sports that involve running, jumping, and high-impact movements. Despite its high prevalence, many athletes are reluctant to discuss these issues or may assume it is simply a normal consequence of sport participation.Dr. VanWiel helps break down why pelvic floor health matters for athletes, how dysfunction can influence performance and injury risk, and what athletes and practitioners should be aware of when identifying potential issues.Topics discussed in this episode include:• The role of the pelvic floor in athletic performance and core stability• Why urinary incontinence is so prevalent in female athletes (60–70%)• Common warning signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction athletes and coaches should recognize• How pelvic floor dysfunction can impact performance, comfort, and confidence in sport• Practical strategies athletes can use to support pelvic floor health• The role of pelvic floor physical therapy and rehabilitation, and the high success rates seen with targeted interventionsImportantly, this conversation highlights that urinary leakage during sport is not normal and should not be ignored. With proper evaluation and treatment, particularly through specialized physical therapy, many athletes experience substantial improvements and can continue training and competing without limitations.Whether you’re a strength coach, athletic trainer, sports medicine clinician, or athlete, this episode provides practical insight into an often under-discussed topic that has major implications for the health and performance of female athletes.#complicatedsimple #resultsthatgiveback #heartbeatbarbell

In this research review, we are highlighting what Greg Nuckols has put together around the impact of sleep (or lack of it) on strength. The two studies below look at how sleep impacts strength and the findings weren’t quite as big as you might have thought. We discuss what this means, how it applies and how you still want to focus on sleep to make sure it is a priority but also that you can still get work done if you fall short on any given night.1.

This episode is a combination of ‘What We Are Reading’ and ‘Leadership Insight’. Joel is joined by Rick Cox (see Leadership Insights) to discuss some of their favorite passages from the book ‘Ego Is The Enemy’ by Ryan Holiday. This book hit both of them real hard, in a good way, that and made them think deep on what they can focus on when it comes to their own ego and how it applies to everything they do.In this episode they pulled out 3 of their favorite passages each and discussed how they apply to not only athletic training but to strength and conditioning, and other health and fitness realms. We highly recommend this book to everyone and if you can open up and be humble, there is so much more you can do in the world in a positive way.#complicatedsimple #resultsthatgiveback #heartbeatbarbell
