‘Very few girls know what sort of bra to wear, whether their bra is a good fit and how to avoid breast pain while exercising.’
It has been estimated that 90 percent of 14-year-old girls in Britain do not do enough exercise to meet the government's exercise guidelines. Those with larger breasts are more likely to opt out of sports and exercise than those with smaller breasts, the findings revealed. Use of appropriate sports bra reduces breast pain for most women, regardless of breast size, the research, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, showed. More than 2,000 schoolgirls, aged 11 to 17 years, took part in the study. Nearly 87 percent of schoolgirls wanted to know more about breast health and support.
Three-quarters of the girls surveyed had at least one concern about their breasts, including embarrassment, breast bounce during exercise and breast pain. Their concerns peaked at the age of 14. More than half the girls said they never wore a sports bra, and nearly all of them wanted to know more about breast health and breast support.
