Why must the bust be supported during sport?
Did you know that your breasts are almost exclusively held by the skin? This makes them vulnerable and, during sport, the forces exerted on them are even higher than usual. The movements and bouncing that they experience can make them up to five times heavier depending on the intensity of the sport. By wearing a sports bra, you are giving them the support, comfort and protection they need. You are also protecting them from impacts, pain and premature sagging.
What is the purpose of choosing between high, medium or low support?
During sport, the breasts experience forces that stretch the skin and ligaments of the bust. The lack of adequate support can cause pain and premature sagging. However, too much support can also have negative consequences. The level of support provided by your bra must therefore be tailored to your bust size and the intensity of the impacts involved. The aim:To protect your bust while preserving the natural movement of the breasts.
How are the support levels of the Decathlon sports bras validated?
Our laboratories validate the models using a bust support test that measures the reduction in the acceleration of the breast's movement during the sporting activity. They are evaluated and then sorted into the following three levels: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for strong support.
What sport should you associate with what level of support?
Depending on the type of sport you practise, the level of support of your bra with vary. We offer the following three options:
- Level 1:light support for activities involving gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.).
- Level 3:Medium support for activities that cause moderate bouncing (dance, fitness, cardio-training, etc.);
- Level 5: high support for activities that involve intensive movement (step, treadmill, trampoline, etc.).
How do you measure the bust size in order to choose the right sports bra?
