The fastening of breasts to our torsos is less solid than we assume;
they can move 15cm during a run. Here’s how to look after your precious
cargo when you’re bouncing around

A
curse on crop tops. They may look like bras, but they aren’t. And if
they didn’t look like bras – and if women didn’t wear them as if they
were bras – I wouldn’t be forced to say out loud every time I see a
woman running: “For God’s sake, get a better sports bra.”

Breasts are wonderful parts of the woman body, but they move, bounce and
hurt. And, as high-intensity interval training is becoming ever-more
popular, they are moving, bouncing and hurting even more.
Running is actually a series of jumps, and so it affects the female body the same way that jumping does. And running makes breasts move in surprising ways: up and down, but also
sideways. They move more than you do: run a marathon and your breasts
will have run an ultra. research shows that the movement of the breasts during exercise ranges from 4cm during a walk to 15cm during a run.
The breasts have no muscles. They consist of fatty tissue attached to
the torso by ligaments. They seem solid, but their fastening is less
solid than we assume. For all shapes and sizes of breasts – even A-cups –
not being encased by a good sports bra while running may lead to pain.
Good sports bras can be found cheaply, though you may have trouble with
larger breasts. Always look for “high-impact” and do not be fooled by
crop tops. Even if you have to pay more, a well-fitted,
high-impact sports bra is always a bargain, for you, your sports and the
precious cargo of fatty tissue attached to your chest.
