The survey found that about 56% of women have experienced the feeling of chest pain in different kinds of sports.
Scientists have established a 3D model to systematically study the stress and deformation of women's breasts when running on the flat ground, and compared the feelings of sports bras, fashion bras, croppetop and bare chests.
It is concluded that inappropriate sports bra will affect the exercise effect. Regardless of age, chest circumference and exercise type, wearing a sports bra is the most effective way to relieve chest pain during exercise.
The causes of chest pain during exercise mainly come from horizontal and vertical movements. Wearing a tight sports bra can effectively alleviate lateral movement; But the vertical movement is not affected by the tightness and lifting degree of underwear.
Therefore, when buying a sports bra, don't worry too much about whether you can "gather" or "improve", which has little effect on your sports.
In addition, special emphasis should be placed on girls with small breasts. Don't think that flat chests can save cloth, not to mention that you can buy sports bras that don't fit at will (although girls with flat chests also have many choices)-no matter how big the breasts are, a suitable sports bra is essential when exercising!
Sports bra, do you really know how to choose a bra? When choosing the bra you usually wear, the data you look at are mainly the bra's lower circumference, cup size (the difference between upper and lower circumference) and cup shape. In sports bras, because most of them are more than 3/4 cup-shaped bags, they have no choice, so many people think that as long as the size is right, the bra they buy is suitable. In fact, you need more attention.
When evaluating a sports bra, we should pay attention to the following conditions: shoulder strap: too tight, it will cause pressure on the skin above the shoulder; Too loose, the underwear will shift when the arm is lifted, which will affect the fixing effect.
Cup: too big to play a good supporting role; Too small, too much pressure on breast tissue will cause discomfort.
Steel ring: At present, most sports bras don't have steel rings. The biggest problem with steel rings is that they may not fit or stick to the skin during exercise.
Shroud (that is, the circle of cloth around the body except the cup): It needs to fit, and it is best for a circle of cloth to fit the chest completely.
Support strength: according to the type of exercise, choose bras with different support strength.
Low intensity: yoga, pilates, weight training, bowling, cycling, swimming, etc. Moderate intensity: boating, walking, mountain climbing, etc. High intensity: running, aerobics, basketball, volleyball, etc.
It should be noted that "chest support strength" and "exercise strength" are two different things: the former refers to whether the chest shakes violently during exercise, such as weight-bearing training. The exercise force is often great, but the supporting force is not particularly great.
Generally speaking, a sports bra with low support is more attractive with less pressure and more styles, but my personal experience is that unless you only do yoga, you can completely support a bra with high support.
General comment A qualified sports bra should not cause excessive pressure and obvious indentation on the skin after adjusting the length of the shoulder strap and the tightness of the hook at the back chain.
At present, there are many sports bra brands on the market, and there is no best one, only the one that suits you best.
In general, you can refer to the following guidelines:
Learn to measure your cup correctly;
Don't use ordinary underwear instead of sports bra;
Go to the store to try it on in person, don't be lazy and buy online directly;
For obese people, underwear can be slightly smaller than usual to maintain support, but again, it does not affect breathing;
Girls with big breasts can consider buying underwear with crossed shoulder straps or wide shoulder straps, which is more comfortable to wear;
Sports bras have a service life, which is related to the frequency of exercise/cleaning. If you find that the underwear doesn't fit or is deformed, please replace it in time.
Sports bra is not everything. Many girls with big breasts may still be upset: I chose a sports bra seriously, but when I exercise, especially when I run or jump, my chest will still be uncomfortable. How to break it?
1. If your weight is normal, but your chest is too big.
You can buy sports bras with extra support-that is, extra impact support series;
You can try to adjust the shoulder straps-for girls with big breasts (above C+), the most useful way is to use cross shoulder straps and simply make the shoulder straps bold, which is not so good;
Under the premise of not compressing the chest and not affecting breathing, you can try a smaller underwear.
If you are overweight, your breasts are very big.
Avoid too much high-intensity aerobic exercise.
There are many ways to reduce fat in Qian Qian. You don't have to run or do aerobic exercise. You can't just consider the chest, but also the feeling of the knee, right?
It is suggested to try water exercise-due to the buffering effect of water, the vertical movement and acceleration of breasts can be greatly reduced, and various discomforts of flat ground movement can be effectively alleviated.
Can you still exercise happily after breast augmentation surgery? Although many people scoff at "artificial breasts", this does not prevent more and more girls from resolutely filling their breasts with fake bodies for beauty.
Let's talk about the relationship between breast augmentation surgery and exercise. 1. I am a fitness enthusiast. Which method should I choose for breast augmentation?
At present, the mainstream breast augmentation surgery has two ways, placing the prosthesis on or under the muscle (as shown below):
In an interview with female bodybuilders for breast augmentation, a plastic surgeon said that it is recommended to put the prosthesis under the muscle, because most bodybuilders have lower body fat, so that the chest is more natural and feels better. But no matter which method is adopted, the prosthesis will have a certain chance of deformation and bulging.
2. Can you still exercise after breast augmentation surgery?
There is no extensive research on the influence of breast augmentation surgery on exercise, especially on resistance exercise involving pectoralis major muscles. However, most experts' suggestions, patients' experience (female bodybuilders) and the results of literature tracking show that:
Don't exercise except in the postoperative recovery period (the first 6 weeks) to avoid aggravating the pain; After the exercise, including the weight-bearing training of chest muscles, there is no problem.
In addition to proper resistance training to tighten the chest and make the figure more straight, developing the habit of long-term exercise can also effectively reduce the incidence of breast cancer. For patients after breast cancer surgery, physical exercise is also an important behavior of "improving self-confidence" and "prolonging survival probability".
Well, that's all. In a word, when exercising, you must choose underwear that suits you, make a reasonable plan and take better care of your two white rabbits.
