Is it OK for women to wear bras when exercising?

Exercise is an activity that we must do in our daily life. Only by exercising can we have a healthy body. So is it good to wear underwear when exercising? The first thing we should understand is that we must wear underwear when exercising, so what kind of underwear should we wear? We can choose according to our own preferences. Next, let us find out whether it is good to wear underwear when exercising? How should each of us choose underwear?

Should I wear underwear when exercising? This issue seems to be discussed all the time. Many women have the good habit of exercising, but they feel that bras are a burden when exercising. They don’t want to wear bras, but are afraid of causing breast deformation, so whether to wear bras becomes a bit conflicted. The answer is: It is best to wear a sports bra when exercising.

According to relevant research, more than half of women have experienced breast pain during exercise. This pain is mainly caused by movement of the breast. The breast itself does not have a strong internal structure to support its weight. The main weight comes from the traction of its own ligaments, glands and skin. If the breasts move back and forth excessively or for a long time, it will pull the ligaments and skin. If it is not restricted and protected, it will cause sagging breasts and even strain the breast glands and ligaments, damaging the health of the breasts.

Whether to wear a bra during exercise depends on the specific situation. If your breasts are large, the exercise intensity is high, and the duration is long, it is best to wear a well-fitting sports bra. For example, if you don't wear a sports bra when running, jumping or other exercises, your breasts will involuntarily swing greatly, causing permanent damage to the elastic fiber tissue in the breasts. Of course, if the exercise is short and gentle, and you don't want to be restricted by bras during exercise, such as doing yoga, occasionally not wearing bras will not affect your breast shape. But the general principle is that it is best to wear a well-fitting sports bra when exercising.

In terms of physiological health, humans are upright walking animals, and the contents of the chest are fat and breast tissue, and there is no bone structure. Without external force to cover and support, the breasts can easily swing back and forth, which can easily cause deformation. Especially when exercising, it is important to protect your breasts, and sports bras are a good choice. Generally speaking, the underwear you wear when exercising should be appropriately tight. If the underwear is loose, the breasts will shake; if it is tight, it will squeeze the body, increase the breathing force and cause discomfort. Therefore, trying on clothes is a very important step. You should look at your body shape from the front, back and sides in the mirror. Move your body around and feel whether the wearing is comfortable and natural. The bra band should feel thick, but not too tight. It is best to have anti-slip rubber pads to reduce friction during exercise. At the same time, the material should be breathable, have good sweat absorption and good elasticity.

Of course, the choice of sports bras varies depending on the type of sport. The more intense the activity, the higher the level of support required. Therefore, the sports bras required for aerobics and boxing are completely different. When trying on bras, you can jump around in the fitting room to see if it provides proper support for your breasts. The standard should be that your breasts feel secure (tight) and not painful.

Fitness exercises have a good effect on improving the physical and mental health of lesbians. For working women, sticking to fitness exercises can prevent occupational diseases such as varicose veins in the lower limbs and back pain. Due to the physiological characteristics of women, there are special requirements for the selection of fitness exercise methods: generally, women's cardiovascular and respiratory systems function worse than men, so the amount of exercise during fitness exercise should be correspondingly smaller, and ultra-long distance and some projects that require heavy physical burden should not be arranged; women's muscle strength is weaker, so during fitness exercise, hanging, supporting and static movements should be done less; during the menstrual period, do not do exercises that cause a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure and violent vibrations, such as jumping, long-distance running, etc., but instead switch to some activities with less exercise, such as walking, doing exercises, etc.; menopausal women should do some interesting activities, such as ballroom dancing, senior disco, rhythmic gymnastics, etc.

The above answers the question of whether it is good to wear underwear when exercising. We also know that when exercising, we can wear some sports bras. This is not only more convenient, but also beneficial to the development of the breasts and will not cause damage to the breasts. Women who like sports must have a comprehensive understanding of this aspect.
