 Kegel exercise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The aim of Kegel exercises is to restore muscle tone and strength to the pubococcygeus muscles in order to prevent or reduce pelvic floor problems.
The exercises consist of the regular clenching and unclenching of these muscles, which are sometimes called the "Kegel muscles" in reference to the exercise.
While women are able to add resistance to the exercise through isometrically gripping a hard object, or by compressing an object such as foam or a penis, it is unknown of any functional exercises that would add resistance to male kegal exercises.

 The Role of Home Trainers in Kegel's Exercise Program
All of Kegel's subjects were patients who were paying for their therapy (through insurance or otherwise), whereas all of the NIA subjects were receiving "free experimental" therapy in a government-sponsored research program.
Kegel's patients practiced between 90 and 360 sessions with the biofeedback device (for one to four months participation, respectively), whereas the NIA patients had only 1 to 5 biofeedback sessions all together.
In the past decade, many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of biofeedback-assisted Kegel exercises in the treatment or even cure of fecal incontinence.[1, 2, 3] The earliest of these studies were based on the use of anorectal manometry, a mechanical pressure transducer system, to treat fecal incontinence.

 The Bastardization of Dr. Kegel's Exercises (1988)
A false dichotomy is drawn between "Kegel Exercises", by which the researchers mean merely verbal instruction without biofeedback, and "Biofeedback", by which was meant verbal instruction in pelvic muscle exercise with concomitant direct visual feedback of that muscle activity.
It is the thesis of this paper that the bastardization of Dr. Kegel's exercises-the unintentional but thoroughly understandable emancipation of the exercises from their historical parentage-has led to a state of confusion among both professionals and laypersons alike.
Rather than investigate the role of biofeedback in Dr. Kegel's exercise, the authors present a controlled experiment in which exercises are prescribed with and without biofeedback.
