The Importance of Sports Bras for Female Runners!

An Increasing Number of Female Runners and Problems Unique to Women

When it comes to running, women have the majority. 57% of running event finishers in 2015 were women.* These numbers don't include the female runners out there that do not compete in running events. There are many reasons why women run - for good health, for losing weight, for muscle-building, for feeling revitalized. Whatever reason it may be, it is encouraging to see an increasing number of women of all ages, shapes, and sizes take up this sport.
Women have breasts that can make exercising uncomfortable. While this happens in other sports, running is often most uncomfortable because of the constant up and down movements of the body. Thus, breasts need extra support while running. This is where the sports bra comes in. Developed especially for use during sports, it is a must-have item that every female runner needs.

Prevent Sagging: The Benefits of a Sports Bra

There are several reasons why you must use a sports bra rather than a regular bra when running and exercising. First off, a regular bra is made to shape the breasts while supporting them. A sports bra is made to minimize the breasts from bouncing. By minimizing bouncing and discomfort, a runner can concentrate more on her running. In addition, sports bras do not use wires so any pain from chafing is avoided. Lastly, sports bras utilize breathable and quick-drying materials that prevent discomfort from moisture, they can also protect against cold.
Another significant reason for wearing a sports bra is to prevent sagging. The upper parts of the breast contain ligaments called Cooper's ligaments, they are bundles of collagen fibers that hold together and support the breasts. These ligaments cannot be fixed once they stretch and break off. Running without a sports bra could cause an irreversible strain on these ligaments.
Regardless of whether you have small or large breasts, bouncing and sagging are problems for women. Prevent the problems from running by wearing a sports bra.
