Everyone has a pair of legs. However, women have additional breast is no less important to be protected when exercising. For that created a special bra called a sports bra.

Why dedicated? Joanna Scurr, the head of the research group about breast health from the University of Portsmouth, England, said the vests that we use everyday can only support the breast in a vertical motion, but can not control the movement in the opposite direction.

"Ideally, different activities require different support also," Scurr said. He pointed out, when playing tennis, going to the upper body rotation, causing a sideways movement of the breast. Meanwhile, the movement of basketball tends to be more vertical.

Because that's just like sport shoe store that has its own measurement system, now in the United States in which many clothing stores have a special measurement method for choosing a sports bra according to the type of sport that will be occupied.

In general, there are a few tips to keep in mind to choose the proper sports bra.

- Check the side of the bra. If your breasts are not closed perfectly, the cup is too small. Meanwhile, if the material is wrinkled, mean size too big.

- Shoulder strap bra you should not change or oversized. The right size is if you still can slip two fingers under the rope.

- Select materials that do not imprint on your skin. Seamless model (without stitches) is more ideal for this. Also avoid a material made from 100 percent cotton because it will be wet when you sweat.
