Why is it essential to protect the chest during exercise?
Breasts are weakened by the fact that they are mainly supported by the skin. Regardless of your cup size or age, it's important to understand that the movements and bounces to which they are subjected during sport can make them up to 5 times heavier, depending on the intensity of the activity. A sports bra offers them the support and protection they need to protect them from impact, pain and premature relaxation.
Why several levels of support?
The breasts undergo stress during sport, stretching the skin and ligaments of the chest. Lack of support increases the risk of pain or premature sagging. But excessive support can also have long-term consequences. Adjusting the level of support in your bra according to your cup size and the intensity of impact is essential. The aim is to preserve the bust without compromising the natural movement of the breast.
How are the support levels of Decathlon sports bras validated?
The bra models are validated in our laboratories through a test evaluating breast support. This test measures the reduction in the acceleration of breast movement during physical exercise. They are classified as follows: 1 for light support, 3 for moderate support and 5 for strong support.
Which bra fit for which sport?
Depending on the intensity of the sport you practice, you can choose from 3 levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities that produce gentle chest movements (Pilates, stretching, muscle strengthening...);
- Level 3: moderate support for activities that generate moderate bounce (dance, fitness, cardio-training...);
- Level 5: strong support for activities that provoke intense movements (step, treadmill, trampoline...).
