Why wear a sports bra?
Click Here to view the Bounceometer & view how breasts react to impact Sports
According to recent scientific research, all women should wear a sports bra when participating in fitness activities to help prevent damage and premature aging of breast tissue.
You wouldn't run in just any old shoes, so don't run in any old bra. A good sports bra is as an essential a piece of kit as a good pair of trainers. The breasts need to be held firmly in position to minimise bouncing around which is uncomfortable, but more importantly, causes stretching of the Coopers ligament which is the only ligament that stops the breast from sagging, once stretched it is irreversible, sagging breasts forever!
To help you on your way here are some points to help you use the correct sports bra.
- Measure your body under the bust to give the size of the bra - you measure here because the flesh of the rib cage is firm and a snugly fitted underband is the key to making you feel supported.
- Once you have your under-bust measurement, you will be able to assess your cup size.
- Before choosing a sports bra, take into account the requirements of your particular sporting activity.
- This coupled with your cup size, will determine the level of support you need.
Common problems answered
- If your bra pulls up at the back, it is too big in the underband around the body
- The bra's cup is too big if there is extra space under the cup and extra fabric around the nipple
- Often when the bra is too small you get extra cup flesh poking out towards the armpit and above the cup
- If your bra is making it's mark and cutting in around your shoulders or body then it is too small
Fact or Fiction
- Fact: Female breasts are primarily composed of glandular tissue and fat and are held in position by delicate ligaments
- Fact: There are no muscles in the breast
- Fiction: Specific exercise will return your breasts to their original shape
- Fact: Once breasts have dropped because of stretched ligaments, NOTHING can restore them to their former position.
Periodically check your bra for these signs of deterioation:
- Your sports bra stretches vertically.
- The fabric of your running sports bra is starting to pill.
- The fit of your sports bra seems to be too loose or too big, but your measurements have not changed.
