How to pick a Sports Bra

You need a sports bra if you are an avid jogger or participate in aerobic exercise. Sports Bras are designed to provide breast muscles with support while engaging in physical activity. This is important, because the breast's skin and ligaments do not provide the support needed by the breast when you engage in these exercises. The repeated up and down motion that occurs when engaging in exercise can cause permanently sagging breasts or other permanent damage. The kind of sports bra you need is determined by the kind of exercise you do. Follow the steps below to determine the type of sports bra that will suit you best.

Step 1: Determine the exercise routine you engage in the most. If you rotate your exercise regiment, then you will need a sports bra for each set of exercises. Different exercises create different breast movements, which require different types of support.

Step 2: Determine the type of sports bra you need. There are two types of sports bras, compression and encapsulation. Compression bras work by squeezing the breasts tightly against the chest. These sports bras are made of elastic fabrics designed to prevent the breasts from bouncing while a woman is exercising. Encapulsation sports bras separate each breast. They provide underwire support in addition to hooks, zippers and snaps, which can be located either at the front or back of the bra.

Step 3: Before you buy a sports bra, be sure to try it on. Try to mimic the movements you will be making when you exercise to ascertain if the bra gives you the necessary support.

Step 4: Choose the style of sports bra that compliments your personal style. Many sports bras should be worn under your clothes, as with standard bras. However, there are sports bras that are designed to be worn over your clothes.

Every woman, regardless of breast size, who engages in regular exercise can benefit from wearing a sports bra. However, sports bras that provide poor support can lead to tension and strain in the upper back and neck. When selecting one, you should make certain that the bra stays in place to prevent chaffing when you move.
