Sports Bras..

While working out and during exercises, you need to protect your most valuable femininity assets, your breasts. The most practical way of doing this is by use of a sports bra. These bras are specifically designed to give you additional support during physical exercise.

They are sturdier than normal bras; they minimize the movement of the breast, maximize comfort and prevent damage to ligaments by preventing excessive movement.

The larger the breasts, the bigger the benefits the user will get from the wearing these bras.

During physical exercises, if breasts are not restricted they move around freely with the movements of the body. A lot of women find this movement to be uncomfortable, sometimes painful, embarrassing and inhibits their ability to perform their training program effectively; this has been shown to increase with ladies with larger breasts. It has also been noted that damage to the ligaments may occur, in the chest area during high impact exercise, such as jogging. Also standard bras straps are anchored directly to the band and are designed for women in normal standing positions; during certain exercises this can put a big strain on the shoulder muscles and in certain circumstances cause injury to them.

The Sports bra was originally the invention of Lisa Lindahl in 1977, after her sister Victoria constantly complained of issues she had during her exercise programs. So Lisa cut up a two jockstraps and sewed them together to make two cups and some large banded straps. This was such a success that Lisa marketed this as the JogBra. In 1990 Playtex then purchased the rights to this bra from Lisa and the rest is history as the sports bra is now made by many manufacturers and available across the globe

There are Four different levels of control afforded by sports bras:

Light Control:

Activities such as Yoga, gardening and walking, only require a light control bra.

Moderate Control:

Activities such as hiking, power walking require a moderate control bra

Form Control:

Activities such as jogging, soccer or tennis require a firm control bra

Maximum Control:

Activities such as boxing, horse riding and very high intensity workouts will require a maximum control bra.

The Sports bra comes in all these levels of control, so when choosing a sports bra make sure you choose one with the correct support that you will need for your chosen activity.
