Why is it important to protect your chest during sports?
Did you know that your breasts are supported almost entirely by the skin? This makes them fragile, and during sport they are put under even more strain than usual. The movements and bouncing they undergo can even make them up to 5 times heavier, depending on the intensity of the exercise. Wearing a sports bra offers the support, comfort and protection your breasts need. It also protects them from impacts, pain and premature sagging.
High, medium or light support: why have different levels?
Sport puts stress on the breasts, stretching the skin and ligaments. Lack of adequate support can cause pain or premature sagging. But too much support can also have harmful consequences. It's therefore essential to make sure that your sports bra offers the right level of support for your cup size and the intensity of the impacts. The idea is to protect your chest while preserving the breasts' natural movement.
How do we check the support levels offered by Decathlon's sports bras?
Our laboratories conduct breast support tests that assess the reduction in the breasts' acceleration during a sports activity. They are assessed then classified into 3 levels: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.
Which sport to associate with which level of support?
Depending on the type of sport you do, the level of support of your sports bra will vary. We offer 3 options:
- Level 1: light support for activities that cause gentle breast movement (Pilates, stretching, strength training, etc.);
- Level 3: medium support for activities that lead to a moderate level of bounce (dancing, fitness, cardio training, etc.);
- Level 5: high support for activities involving intensive movements (step aerobics, running, trampolining, etc.).
Measuring your chest to choose the right sports bra size
It's essential to choose the right size of sports bra to keep your breasts supported and comfortable. Here's how:
- In front of a mirror, use a tape measure;
- Hold your tape measure horizontally at the top of your back towards the bottom of your shoulder blades;
- Bring the tape measure across the fullest part of your bust;
- Take the measurement without pulling it tight; Use our online calculator for more precision.
