A sports bra is a specialised type of bra designed to provide support and comfort to women during physical activities such as sports, exercise, or other physical activities that involve movement or impact. Sports bras are designed to minimize breast movement, which can cause discomfort, pain, and even injury during physical activity.
Sports bras are typically made of moisture-wicking, breathable materials and have a compression or encapsulation design that helps to reduce breast movement. They often have wide shoulder straps, a wide underband, and a racerback or criss-cross design to provide additional support and prevent the straps from slipping.
There are different types of sports bras available, including compression sports bras, encapsulation sports bras, and combination sports bras that provide both compression and encapsulation. It is important to choose a sports bra that fits well and provides the appropriate level of support for the type of physical activity you are doing.
Wearing a sports bra can help to reduce breast pain and discomfort during physical activity, as well as prevent sagging and other long-term breast damage. It is recommended that women wear a sports bra during any type of physical activity, even low-impact activities such as yoga or walking.
