The results have shown that there is a slight correlation between the years of cycling and the presence of lower urinary tract symptoms, independently of the man's age. Therefore, the results display that high-intensity cycling practice might impact negatively in some men's pelvic floor functions. Further research is needed to analyse the impact of cycling on urogenital problems in this population group
