Resumo

The hypopressive technique (HT) uses active muscle stretching postures in conjunction with thoracic breathing and intermittent breath holding. There is little evidence about the effects of HT on the deep musculature of the abdomen and the pelvic floor (PF) as well as other kinanthropometric variables, especially in female athletes. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of HT program on body composition, contraction of the transversus abdominis (TA) and PF muscle function in female athletes. 11 female rugby players (23.3yr, SD=2.69; 23.3; BMI, SD=1.98) performed eight HT postures twice per week for 8 weeks with a total duration of 45-minutes per session. All training sessions were supervised by a qualified HT physiotherapist. Body composition was evaluated through bioelectrical impedance and waist and hip circumferences were measured with anthropometric tape. Maximum contraction of the TA was assessed with a biofeedback pressure device. The pelvimetre Phenix was used to analyze tonicity and PF contractility. Following the training period, significant differences were observed in waist circumference, maximum contraction of the TA and contractility and muscle tone of the PF (p<.05). No significant differences were found in body composition and hip circumference (p>.05). These preliminary findings indicate that a supervised 8-week program of HT can be used to enhance abdominal and perineal function in female rugby players.
