The importance of the Sports Bra is undisputed. In absence of it, it causes damages to the breast and these damages through shock and strain leave permanent effects. However in a recent study, it was found that 41% of women do not wear sports bra during exercising or running.

It was found that most of them had a notion that their normal bras are supportive enough to play sports in. They don’t realise that they might have jogging their way to sagging breasts and could cause even temporary pain and discomfort. Most of the women are unaware of the effect of exercising on their breasts.

In absence of sports bra, the breasts move in an uncontrolled movement straining the fragile tissues and ligaments. This eventually results in chafing and sagging breasts.

A survey was conducted by “Move Active”, a sports bra retailer in Manchester, London, among women from the age of 16-35. They found that women were totally ignorant of the fact; the exercise without wearing sports bra could cause a permanent effect on their breasts. They insisted that women while undertaking exercise should wear sports bra which is as significant as any other sports.

In absence of an appropriate support to the breasts, the movement, during the exercise puts great stress on the breast’s fragile support structure - the outer skin and Cooper’s ligaments. Copper ligaments are the connective tissues. This results in irreversible breast sag.

During the exercise done in the absence of the sports bra, the breasts get encapsulated or compressed. This results in premature sagging of the breasts. Moreover without any support provided to the breasts, they tend to bounce too much during the exercise, which often leads to pain and chafing. Chafing is always caused by a build up of sweating. This situation can occur during any kind of exercise regime, whether it is running or any kind of sports activity.

So like other sports wear, it is highly recommended for the women to adopt the sports bra. The reasons they give of not wearing the sports bra is that they find it to be very ugly and unattractive.

Director John Cormack suggests that wearing a decent sports bra is most important part of the sports wear. Now available in different fabrics and styles, they are surely going to attract women who are careful about the health related issues to it. Though for some, it is expensive however; its significance could never be rued out.

The study concludes that it is indispensable for the women who regularly work out and even for those women who indulge in light exercise. It would provide them comfort and support an avoid damaging effects of the breasts.
