Bra v / s Bra: The importance of wearing a sports bra to exercise
Experts and users explained the differences of doing sports with a bra designed exclusively for sports.
All women who do sports activities will agree that one of the basic needs when doing sports is to keep everything in place. And this is why the Bra or sports bra has become an indispensable element for any athlete in their different disciplines.
However, there are those who are starting in the world of sports and are unaware of the consequences that a common support can have when exercising.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT USING THE RIGHT CLAMP
We talked with Javiera Pinto, KMP kinesiologist, who told us about the risk of not wearing a suitable bra.
“Performing sports with a standard support, which is not designed for specific movements of each sport such as running, can cause discomfort and pain in the breasts and back. In addition, the risk of accelerating the breakage of fibers that sustain them is increased, which will lead to a fall in these ”, says Javiera.
Actress María Paz Jorquier confesses that before becoming an ambassador for the Reebok brand, she didn't worry about having a sports bra to exercise. But after starting to use them, it ensures that everything has changed and that “in every sense it is a benefit for those of us who like to play sports, because you focus on what matters and you can make any movement without problems,” he says.
He also confessed that he loves the models that this sports brand has for women who do not have much bust, because “they lift a little, thanks to the fact that they come with the armed cup, and that makes me a nice cleavage”.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BRA
The KMP kinesiologist explains that the sports bra is designed to "reduce the movements generated by each sport, containing the breasts and delivering a bra during practice, thus avoiding discomfort, but without having the feeling of being‘ tight. "
But how to choose the right one? The expert handed us some keys:
1. Support: It is important to consider the support that the bra has on the back, the design of this part contributes to the distribution of the load and will generate stability to perform the sport.
2. Seams: That it is made with a material and seams that do not generate uncomfortable rubs or that can hurt the skin.
3. Transpiration: That the material with which it is made allows perspiration and that the athlete is kept fresh.
And who knows well about this, is the actress Belén Soto, who recommends the Nike Pro Bra. "What I like the most is that its design is similar to the bras that women wear every day, in addition to their elasticity," says the actress who became known in the unforgettable TV series "Papi Ricky."
