Female participation in moderate to heavy strength training has increased with the popularity of current fitness trends. Lifting heavy weight is reported to be a risk factor for the development or worsening of pelvic floor dysfunction, specifically pelvic organ prolapse, due to the effects of intra-abdominal pressure placed upon pelvic support structures. The levator ani muscle provides active and passive support to the pelvic organs, particularly in upright positions against gravity, however structural impairment as a result of a vaginal delivery may increase the risk for pelvic floor dysfunction. The aim of this study was to compare measures of the levator hiatus in a standing position using transperineal ultrasound between vaginally parous females who lift heavy weight and those who are physically active but do not lift heavy weight for exercise.
