The escalated and advanced level presented severe urinary symptoms in 50.6% and 49.4% respectively. Jumping exercises were associated with the majority of symptoms “double jump rope” with 26.72% and “box jump” in 17.59%. Urine loss stood out in 93.3% and vaginal lump sensation in 44.1%. The Hellen routine, performed by 81.6%, was associated with severity of symptoms.
