Na gravidez ocorre redução da performance de vários grupamentos musculares, incluindo aqueles do assoalho pélvico. Visto o importante papel da musculatura do assoalho pélvico sobre os mecanismos da continência urinária, justifica-se a preocupação com a busca de intervenções que possam realmente amenizar ou reverter os efeitos da gravidez sobre a sua função. O treinamento dos músculos do assoalho pélvico quando realizado na gravidez, poderia aumentar a força desse grupo muscular e prevenir a incontinência urinária tanto na gestação quanto no pós-parto. Além disto, espera-se que estas intervenções possam reduzir o período expulsivo do parto e a ocorrência de trauma perineal. O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar criticamente os resultados dos estudos que investigaram as repercussões de programas de treinamento dos músculos do assoalho pélvico na gravidez. Sabe-se que investigações sistematizadas sobre esse tema ainda são escassas e os resultados controversos, não permitindo afirmar que o treinamento da musculatura do assoalho pélvico pode proporcionar ganho de força muscular. Entretanto, existem fortes indícios de que as taxas de incontinência urinária poderiam ser reduzidas por meio desses programas.
