Why is it important to protect your breasts during sports activities?
During sport, your breasts, which are fragile and mainly supported by the skin, are exposed to much greater stress than in everyday life.Regardless of your cup size or age, they are subjected to movement and bounce. Depending on the intensity of the activity, they can weigh up to 5 times heavier than usual. Sports bras offer the support you need to protect your breasts from impact, pain and a premature sagging.
Strong, medium or low support, why choose?
During exercise, breasts are placed under tension, stretching the skin and chest ligaments.A lack of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging.Excessive support can also cause long-term damage.The level of support provided by your bra must therefore be tailored to your cup size and the intensity of the impacts involved. The goal is to protect the chest without compromising natural breast movement.
How are the support levels of the Decathlon sports bras validated?
Our laboratories validate the models through a bust support test, by measuring the reduction in breast movement acceleration during sports activities. They are evaluated, then ranked: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for high support.
What level of bra support is required for each sport?
The bra's level of support should be tailored to the nature of the sports activity.Our range offers three levels of support:- Level 1:low support for activities involving gentle breast movements (pilates, stretching, strength training, etc.).
- Level 3: Medium support for activities involving moderate bounce (dancing, fitness, cardio training, etc.).
- Level 5:high support for activities that involve intensive movement (step, treadmill, trampoline, etc.).
