Women's Muscle Back Sports Bra Medium Support - Black

What kinds of activities is the support level of this zip-up sports bra good for?

Stay dry even when working up a sweat in this muscle back sports bra

Moving and exercising means breaking a sweat. And let's be honest, it's not very pleasant when your clothing feels damp during a workout.

To keep you as dry as possible during your sports activities, we chose a synthetic fabric for this sports bra. This fabric is both quick drying and moisture wicking. You can work out as hard as you want without worrying about being soaked at the end of your session.

How does the design of this muscle back sport bra make sports activities easier?

Whether you're doing dance, fitness, cycling or hiking, being able to move freely is important. We designed this sports bra with a muscle back. This keeps your shoulder blades free so you can comfortably move your arms through their complete range of motion.

Why is it important to wear a sports bra when doing sports?

When doing a sports activity, your breasts - which are fragile and supported mostly by skin - experience much greater impacts than during everyday activities. Regardless of your cup size or age, the movements and bouncing associated with sports activities increase the impact of their weight by up to five times depending on the intensity of your activity. A sports bra offers necessary support, comfort and protection. It will protect your breasts from impacts, pain and premature sagging.

What support levels do Decathlon's sports bras come in?

The bra models are approved in our labs using a bust support test that measures the reduction in the acceleration of the breast movement during the sports activity. They are evaluated and ranked from 1 to 5: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.

What level of support do you need in a sports bra?

The level of support offered by the sports bra should be appropriate to the sport. Our range has three levels:

- Level 1: light support for activities that produce gentle movements of the bust (Yoga, Pilates, stretching, golf, walking);

- Level 3: medium support for activities that generate moderate bounce (cycling, dance, fitness, cardio-training);

- Level 5: high support for activities associated with intensive movements (HIIT, running, tennis, team sports, horse riding).

How do you choose the right size sports bra?

The right size sports bra will give you the right amount of support you need. When choosing your size, be sure to refer to our online size guide (just above the size selection box).

How are Decathlon's sports bras designed?

Decathlon's sports bras are designed by our team of experts to keep you as comfortable as can be and prevent health problems. We do not use underwires to prevent the risk of injury and compression of the lymph nodes. We minimise the seams around the nipples to reduce chafing. We also use components that wick away perspiration to guarantee your comfort and considerably reduce the risks of irritation.

How should you care for your zip-up sports bra?

This sports bra was designed for intense use and repeated washing. We recommend washing at 30°C or below and using a mesh bag (sold separately, ref. 8505236).

Use liquid detergent rather than a powder, and do not use softeners. Softeners can make the fabric less breathable.

Do not tumble dry.
