Incontinence during sport is common, but not normal. The most common form of
incontinence, (which is any involuntary leakage of urine) is called stress
incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when there is an increase of
pressure on the bladder, usually from increases in abdominal pressure which is what
typically occurs when coughing, laughing, sneezing – but also when doing high impact sport, including running.
