Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: Women from Comunidad de Madrid (Spain) who want to participate and fullfil the inclusion criteria.

In the cases group, women from badminton clubs register at the "Federación Madrileña de Bádminton" and University clubs or not register in this federation.

Brief summary: The objective of the study is to know the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions in female badminton athletes compared to sedentary women, and the hypothesis is that the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunctions is going to be higher in female badminton athletes.

Detailed description: After being informed about the study, all participants giving written informed consent will complete the personal data questionnaire and the questionnaires validated to Spanish population "International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form" (ICIQ-SF), "Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Short Form" (PFDI-20), "Female Sexual Function Index" (FSFI) and the SF-12 questionnaire. After that, inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assessed, and participants will be allocated into cases and controls group. Both groups will undergo the same procedures. Firstly, the evaluation of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse signs will be performed by using the cough stress test and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System; and secondly, the evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength by using manometry.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Cases: women who practice recreational badminton and/or are federated and compete.
* Controls: sedentary women and/or do not meet the recommendations of the World Health Organization (150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Connective tissue diseases (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome or hypermobility syndrome).
* Pregnant at the time of the study.
* Give birth in the last 12 months.
* Not understanding Spanish language.
