How does the design of the swimmer's back bra with moderate support shells facilitate movement?
Squats, burpees... the arms are also called upon during certain sporting activities. So it's important to be able to move them with ease. That's why we've added elastane to the fabric of this sports bra. More stretchy, it follows you in all your movements. What's more, we've added a swimmer's back to free up the shoulder blades and make arm movements even easier.

You've got nothing against getting your swimsuit or bra wet during your sports sessions, but you're not so keen on the damp feeling that comes with it. We know all about that too.

Why foam shells on the swimmer's back bra with moderate support shells?
The integrated foam pads on this sports bra are there for several reasons. They provide extra comfort and support by enclosing your breasts. They also provide extra protection against shocks. And because we like it sporty and pretty, the pads also draw a nice curve to the chest.
Why is it so important to offer chest protection during sports?
During sporting activities, your breasts, which are fragile and mainly supported by the skin, are subjected to much greater stress than in everyday life. Regardless of your cup size or age, they are subjected to movements and bounces that can be up to 5 times their weight, depending on the intensity of the physical activity. A sports bra gives them the support, comfort and protection they need, protecting them from impact, pain and premature sagging.
What is the purpose of the different maintenance levels?
During sporting activity, the breasts are subjected to tensions that stretch the skin and ligaments of the chest. Lack of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging. Conversely, excessive support can have harmful consequences. It is therefore essential to adapt the level of support of your bra to the size of your cup and the intensity of the impact. The aim is to protect the breasts without altering their natural movement.
How are the support levels of Decathlon sports bras tested?
Bra models are validated in our laboratories. They undergo breast support tests that measure the reduction in acceleration of breast movement during sport. They are then classified: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for strong support.
What sports are the bra support levels suitable for?
Our 3 levels of support are designed to adapt to different types of sport:
