What activities are possible with the moderate support zipped rib bra?
This medium-weight sports bra offers comfort and optimum breast protection for all moderate-impact activities such as dance, fitness, cardio-training...
What is it about the ribbed, zippered bra with moderate support that gives you so much freedom of movement?
Whatever the activity or its intensity, for a pleasant and comfortable workout, it's important to feel at ease in your movements. And to give yourself the best chance of doing so, our first piece of advice is to choose the right outfit. This sports bra does just that. By adding elastane, we've increased its stretchability. Its swimmer back also frees the shoulder blades for even greater ease of movement.
How can you stay dry even when you're exerting yourself with the moderate support zipped rib bra?
Sweating and staying dry may seem paradoxical, even utopian. But we've risen to the challenge by using sweat-wicking fabric in the design of this sports bra. Now you can give it your all without worrying about getting soaked at the end of your session.
Why is the ribbed bra with moderate support zipper so easy to put on and take off?
For a sports bra that's easy to put on and take off, we've included a front zip. To prevent it from opening during use, the front zip is self-locking. Simply zip up and press the slider to lock the zipper.
Is it really important to protect your breasts during sport?
You may not know it, but your breasts are supported almost entirely by the skin, which makes them fragile. During sport, they are put under much greater strain than usual. Whether you're wearing a cup or of a certain age, the movements and bounces they undergo can cause them to weigh up to 5 times their normal weight, depending on the intensity of the activity. Wearing a sports bra gives them support, comfort and protection. It protects them from impact, pain and premature sagging.
Why is it important to choose the right fit?
Sport puts stress on the breasts, stretching the skin and ligaments. Lack of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging. Too much support can also cause long-term damage. Adapting the level of support in your bra to your cup size and the intensity of impact is therefore essential. The aim is to preserve the bust without altering the natural movement of the breast.
What tests have been carried out to validate the support levels of Decathlon sports bras?
Prototypes are approved in our laboratories using a test to evaluate breast support. This test measures the reduction in the acceleration of breast movements during sporting activities. They are evaluated and then classified according to 3 levels: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for strong support.
What level of support should you choose for your sport?
Depending on the sport you practice, you won't choose the same level of support. We suggest you choose between 3 levels:
- Level 1: light support if the activity produces gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening...);
- Level 3: moderate support if the activity provokes moderate rebounds (dance, fitness, cardio-training...);
- Level 5: strong support if the activity is associated with intense movements (step, treadmill, trampoline...).
How do you know what size sports bra to buy?
Opt for a bra size that's adapted to your morphology to guarantee support and comfort for your breasts. To make the right choice:
- In front of a mirror, use a tape measure;
- Place it horizontally, at the top of your back, on the lower part of the shoulder blades;
- Pass the tape over the end of the bust;
- Take the measurement loosely;
