Should Women Train Hard?
Human beings stand, therefore their perineum (pelvic floor muscles) must hold the upper part of their body. The perineum of the woman is weaker than that of the man for several reasons: it has "a hole" in the middle, and it must be weaker to allow the pelvis to widen a little more during pregnancy and to let the child pass through at birth (because we humans have babies with very big heads).
In fact, genetically, the muscular capacity of the female perineum is blocked. If the perineum is relatively too muscular, there is a great danger that it will be severely damaged and torn by childbirth (because it will hold back while the child is going to be pushed through).
If the other muscles are too developed (especially the abdominal muscles), there will be constant pressure on the perineum, which damages it slowly but surely. The same thing applies to all types of jumps, which, if they are regular, cause pressure on the perineum; and the same thing concerns of course weights lifting, because it solicits in particular the perineum, but also the abdominal muscles which constantly will push on this one.
During pregnancy, the hormones make the perineum weaker to allow the pelvis to expand and to allow it to not be damaged during childbirth. This is why all sports and weight lifting during pregnancy are to be avoided.
Kegel exercises that can fix a somewhat damaged perineum after a delivery are much less effective or ineffective among so-called "athletic women", because their problem is not related to the weakness of their perineum (normal in postpartum), but well linked to real damage to the perineum.
These problems are more pronounced and more serious among white women, by the way.
