Tips for Choosing "Sports Bra"

Everyone has a pair of legs. However, women
have additional breast is no less
important to be protected when
exercising. For that created a
special bra called a sports bra. Why dedicated? Joanna Scurr,
the head of the research group
about breast health from the
University of Portsmouth,
England, said the vests that we
use everyday can only support the breast in a vertical motion,
but can not control the
movement in the opposite
direction. "Ideally, different activities
require different support also,"
Scurr said. He pointed out, when
playing tennis, going to the
upper body rotation, causing a
sideways movement of the breast. Meanwhile, the
movement of basketball tends to
be more vertical. Because that's just like sport
shoe store that has its own
measurement system, now in the
United States in which many
clothing stores have a special
measurement method for selecting a sports bra according
to the type of sport that will be
occupied. In general, there are a few tips
to keep in mind to choose the
proper sports bra. - Perform a variety of different
activities when trying a bra, for
example, jump, jog, or try to
move forward and backward.
"Try also to lay back and feel if
the bra is too loose or not," said LaJean Lawson, researchers
often test the sports bra for
the athletes. - Check the side of the bra. If
your breasts are not closed
perfectly, the cup is too small.
Meanwhile, if the material is
wrinkled, mean size too big. - Shoulder strap bra you should
not change or oversized. The
right size is if you still can slip
two fingers under the rope. - Select materials that do not
imprint on your skin. Seamless
model (without stitches) is more
ideal for this. Also avoid a
material made from 100 percent
cotton because it will be wet when you sweat. - We recommend a sports bra is
not stored too long and was
replaced before one year,
although this depends on the
frequency of use.
