What sports can I do with the invisible bra with strong support shells?
The high level of support offered by this bra allows comfortable practice of high-impact activities such as hit, cardio circuits, body attack, horseback riding, trampoline...
Why does the invisible bra with strong support shells facilitate movement?
For activities such as fitness or trampolining, it's important to be free to move as you please. And this freedom of movement is gained in part through the choice of clothing.
We have therefore designed this sports bra with a swimmer's back. This frees the shoulder blades and makes arm movements easier.
How does the invisible bra with strong support shells help wick away perspiration?
You work out during your sports sessions and inevitably you sweat. Because it's not necessarily pleasant to feel soaked during or after exercise, we've added a detail to this bra that helps wick away perspiration. The back material is perforated, allowing this part of the body to breathe better and stay drier longer.
Why an invisible adjustment system in the back of the bra with strong support shells?
The 3 clips on the back allow the bra to be adjusted around the ribcage. The result is a more comfortable fit.
Why is the invisible bra with strong support cups so discreet under clothes?
This sports bra features 2 cups of fine, supple foam for optimum comfort, extra support and shock protection.
The foam and flat heat-bonded seams give the bra a flat appearance. The bra is therefore more discreet under clothing.
Why is it essential to protect the chest during sporting activity?
During any sporting activity, the fragile breasts, which are mainly supported by the skin, are exposed to much greater stress than in everyday life. Regardless of your cup size or age, the movements and bounces to which they are subjected can, depending on the sport, weigh up to 5 times more. A sports bra offers the support and protection needed to protect breasts from impact, pain and premature sagging.
How do you choose between high, medium or low maintenance?
During sport, the breasts are put under stress, stretching the skin and ligaments of the chest. Lack of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging. Conversely, excessive support can also have harmful consequences. That's why it's essential to adjust the support level of your bra according to your cup size and the intensity of the impact you experience. The aim is to preserve the bust without altering the natural movement of the breast.
How are the support levels of Decathlon sports bras validated?
Our laboratories validate the models by means of a breast support test, measuring the reduction in the acceleration of breast movement during physical exercise. They are then classified into 3 levels: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for strong support.
Which sport to combine with which level of bra support?
The bra must be adapted to the sport in question. Our range comprises 3 levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities generating gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening...);
- Level 3: moderate support for activities generating moderate bounce (dance, fitness, cardio-training...);
- Level 5: strong support for activities with intense movements (step, treadmill, trampoline...).
How do I determine the right size for my sports bra?

- Stand facing a mirror;
- Place the tape measure horizontally, above your back, on the lower part of your shoulder blades;
