The Best Sports Bras for Every Workout

A reliable sports bra keeps you comfortable and supported during a workout, but different types of athletes require different kinds of support.

 Studies have shown that, when running, breasts can oscillate up to 8 inches! They typically move in a figure-8 formation that pulls them up, down, forward, backward and side-to-side. As one of the study’s top researchers states, excessive breast movement increases the risk of damaging the fragile Cooper’s ligaments, which are irreparable.

No wonder many women find that exercise causes their breasts to feel sore. To find the best sports bras for a range of activities, we spoke to a bunch of athletes — including runners, yogis, dancers,  movement trainers, cyclists, and boot camp trainers. Within a certain intensity-range of exercises, we also found the best options for various busts.
