A tight-fitting bra is worth its weight in gold - especially when jogging. As a test has now shown, you can demonstrably increase your running success with the right sports bra. It's a good thing that you can find support with the new models in our shop.

Do you like doing sport? Then you probably know this: as soon as you jump, dance or run, your breasts jump, dance and run with you - without being asked. However, a good sports bra not only helps to support you (and your breasts) when exercising, but also has an effect on your athletic performance when jogging. This is shown by a new experiment by the Breast Biomechanics Research Centre at the US University of Memphis.

Thirteen amateur runners between the ages of 18 and 35 with a cup size between B and D completed a three-minute test run three times: once completely without a sports bra, once with a loose sports bra and once with a tight sports bra.

The result from previous and current research: running performance was increased by 7 per cent with a well-stabilising model. The reason for this is that a better-supported chest goes hand in hand with greater knee stiffness, which in turn leads to improved performance.

These models won't let you down

Well, if that's not reason enough to take a look at the new sports bras in our shop. Here you'll find plenty of products to support your running performance. The models from Swegmark in particular promise a secure grip, according to the manufacturer.

So: To the breasts, get set, go!
