The feats being performed during the Olympics are amazing. It is also easy to see how much wear and tear the bodies of the athletes take. In the case of women, this includes the massive movements requiring sports bras.

You undoubtedly have a collection of different bras. There better be a few sports bras and you should be wearing them when being active. Tests have revealed breasts can bounce up to 8 inches up and down when just jogging. That is a lot of wear and tear.

As you well know, up and down is not the only direction we have to worry about. Depending on what you are doing, movement in just about every angle is possible and you really have to pay attention to what you are doing.

Your girls are delicate when it comes to support. Think about how they are supported. The primary mechanism is not muscle, but ligament. Ligament stretches, which should be all I really have to say. Picture yourself 10 years down the line.

The sports bra is not the most seductive of accessories, but it is a vital necessity. A regular bra is not designed to handle the motion involved in sports. If you want to play, wear a sports bra. If you want to look hot, wear something sexy but do not play hard.

There are a couple of basic styles for sports bras. One has been with us for a long time and is the pull over, compression version. The second version is newer and acts to actually encapsulate the breasts.

The compression bra is the time tested answer for most women. As the name suggests, it works by compressing the breast against the chest. This effectively works to eliminate the bouncing of the breast, but does tend to flatten the chest.

The newer encapsulation sports bra is better for larger busted women. Instead of creating a one piece system, this sports bra works by isolating each breast and giving it full support in the cup.

Since we have two basic sports bras, you undoubtedly want to know which one you should use. There is no real right answer. The compression bra is good for women with B cups or less, while the encapsulation bra is comfortable for bigger sizes.

The sports bra has not really changed all that much since it was first created, the encapsulation cup notwithstanding. The issue is not so much which version you wear as it is whether you wear one or not. You would be crazy not to.
