Beschreibung: Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an online educational video program on pelvic floor health knowledge, sexual function, quality of life, and motivation for physical activity in women engaged in low- and high-intensity exercise. Methods A two-arm clinical trial was conducted with 60 women aged 18-35, divided into low- and high-intensity activity groups. Participants completed a six-week online video course covering pelvic floor anatomy, function, and self-management. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included validated questionnaires: PIKQ (pelvic floor knowledge), FSFI-19 (sexual function), BREQ-2 (exercise motivation), and EQOL-6D (quality of life). Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results Pelvic floor knowledge improved significantly in both groups (low-intensity: p < 0.001, d = 0.668; high-intensity: p < 0.001, d = 0.825), especially in POP-related knowledge (p < 0.001). Sexual function improved in desire (p = 0.046) and arousal (p = 0.027) for the low-intensity group, and in pain during intercourse for the high-intensity group (p = 0.049). No significant changes were found in exercise motivation (p > 0.05). Anxiety and depression scores improved only in the lowintensity group (p = 0.031).
