Introduction: Urinary Incontinence (IU) is defined by the International Continence Society as “complaint of any involuntary loss of urine”. It has a high prevalence and principally affecting women. The factors that trigger off IU are multiple and the symptoms favour the socially isolated, lost independence, anxiety and consequently there is a diminishing of the quality of life. Objective: To assess the effects of a protocol of force training, composed of 5 specific exercises for the inferior members under the complaint of IU. Material and Methods: In a sample composed of 30 women between 50 and 70 years old, from the city of Jaú-SP, it utilized a clinic test called “self controlled” characterized by two phases: the first phase was characterized as the sample forming, part of the control group and the second phase when the sample became to be classified as being the intervention group. Each phase had a period of duration of 12 weeks. During the period of intervention the women exercised themselves twice a week. It utilized a specific chart of 1-RM (Baechle) for individualization of training weights (70% of 1-RM), as well as anamnese. “Pad Test” – a specific test to quantify the loss of urine, as well as “ICIQ-SF” – a standard questionnaire that assess the quality of life of the suffers of IU. Results: At the end of the study, it was observed that there was a significant statistical increase of muscular force in the inferior members, and consequently a reduction of the loss of urine, as shown by the “Pad Test” in the intervention group, compared to the control group. The score of the ICIQ-SF also showed a significant statistical reduction in the intervention group, over the control group, suggesting an improvement of the clinical symptoms of the illness, as well as an improvement in the quality of life of the women, whom participated in the sample. Conclusion: The protocol of the force training caused a significant increase of muscular force of the inferior members, as well as a reduction in the quantify of lost urine.
