Why is it important to protect your breasts during exercise?
While exercising, your breasts, which are fragile and supported almost exclusively by skin, experience much more stress than in everyday life. No matter your cup size or age, they're subjected to movements and bouncing that can create a force of up to five times their weight. Wearing a sports bra offers the support, comfort and protection your breasts need. It protects your chest from impacts, pain and premature sagging.
High, medium or light support: how do you choose?
Exercising can stretch the skin and ligaments in the chest. Without sufficient support, you may experience pain or premature sagging. But too much support can also be harmful over time. It's therefore essential to make sure that your bra offers the right level of support for your cup size and the intensity of the impacts caused by your activity. The aim is to protect your bust without altering natural breast movement.
What are the support levels offered by Decathlon's sports bras?
Our bras are tested in our labs using a breast support test that measures the decrease in the breasts' acceleration during sports. They are then rated on a scale of 1 to 5: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.
Which level of support do you need for which activity?
Your bra's level of support should be suitable for the activity you're doing. Our range consists of three levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities that cause gentle breast movement (yoga, Pilates, stretching, golf)
- Level 3: medium support for activities that cause a moderate level of bounce (cycling, dance, fitness, cardio training)
- Level 5: high support for activities involving intensive movements (HIIT, running, tennis, team sports, horse riding).
