Sports Bras Are Critical For Active Lifestyles
The feats being performed during the Olympics are amazing. It is also easy to see how much wear and tear the bodies of the athletes take. In the case of women, this includes the massive movements requiring sports bras.
If you do not wear a sports bra when you exercise, you are crazy. Studies have revealed that during simple running, breasts may bounce up and down as much as six to eight inches. There are actual videos on YouTube.com showing this painful fact.
If anything, Americans do not get enough exercise. If you are being active, it is a good thing. That being said, you must protect yourself. You would not jog on a hot road without shoes, so do not do the same without a sports bra.
Your breasts are not supported by muscles per se. Instead, they are supported by ligaments and, obviously, skin. If you watch sports at all, you know ligaments can be damaged and skin, of course, stretches. You need some additional support.
I will be honest. The average sports bra is not going to set the world on fire from a fashion point of view. In truth, you really should not care. Play hard and party hard, but do them different. Sports bras are for playing hard and seductive bras are for the remainder of the day.
Whether you had large or small breasts, you were pretty much restricted to one type of sports bra for the longest of times. This was known as the compression sports bra. The encapsulate sports bra, however, has recently changed things up.
The compression bra is the time tested answer for most women. As the name suggests, it works by compressing the breast against the chest. This effectively works to eliminate the bouncing of the breast, but does tend to flatten the chest.
The newer encapsulation sports bra is better for larger busted women. Instead of creating a one piece system, this sports bra works by isolating each breast and giving it full support in the cup.
Since we have two basic sports bras, you undoubtedly want to know which one you should use. There is no real right answer. The compression bra is good for women with B cups or less, while the encapsulation bra is comfortable for bigger sizes.
Unlike many of the variations of brassieres we have seen through the years, the sports bra has pretty much remained the same. Why? It works well. The encapsulation has only come around as bust sizes have grown, but should carry on the tradition of the compression sports bra.
