| What types of activity is this muscle back bra's level of support suitable for? |
The sports bra has been validated as providing a moderate level of support. You can wear it for all your moderate-impact activities: cycling, hiking, gym, dance, rollerskating, skiing, etc. |
| How does this muscle back sports bra keep you dry even while sweating? |
Moving and exercising also means sweating. And we won't deny it, there's nothing pleasant about feeling wet during a workout.
To ensure you stay dry even mid-workout, we chose to design this sports bra with a synthetic fabric. The advantage of this fabric is that it wicks away perspiration and dries quickly. So you can work as hard as you like, without worrying about ending up soaked after your workout. |
| How does this muscle back sports bra make workouts easier? |
Whether for dance, fitness, cycling, or hiking, it's important to keep both your legs and your arms free to move. So we designed this sports bra with a muscle back. This frees the shoulder blades so you can move your arms with maximum range and comfort. |
| 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. |
| 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, strength training, golf, walking)
- 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). |
