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.
