Millions of women may be jogging their way to sagging breasts as they set off on New Year fitness regimes without suitable bras, research suggests.

Some 9.5 million British women could be irreversibly damaging their busts by exercising without a proper sports bra, the Portsmouth University team said.

They found breasts moved in a 3D figure of eight and that uncontrolled movement strained fragile tissues and ligaments.

The study suggested as a woman runs a mile, her breasts bounced 135m.

The report found each breast moved independently of the body by an average of 9cm for every step taken on the treadmill.

With the average breast weighing between 200 and 300 grams, this movement puts great stress on the breast's fragile support structure - the outer skin and connective tissues known as Cooper's ligaments.

Irreversible breast sag

The research team found breast movements resulted in temporary pain and discomfort.

But it also led to a more permanent stretching of the Cooper's ligament which leads to irreversible breast sag.

They claim that wearing an ordinary T-shirt bra reduced bounce by 38%, but wearing a sports bra by the firm Shock Absorber - which sponsored the research - reduced bounce by 78%.

Dr Joanne Scurr who carried out the research said women needed to be aware of the effects of exercising without properly supporting their breasts.

"People rightly spend time and effort to get the right footwear for exercise and it is equally important to wear the correct sports bra.

"Proper support for breasts will reduce the stretch to the Cooper's ligament."


just had to add this to the forum just made me smile that people actually get paid for this kind of survey.

And it is not the bigger they are the more the move, the little ones move a lot as well.

Here - http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-US%26sa%3DN (haven't figured out how to hide the links) -is a bounce-o-meter video information game?? that you can see the differences in bounce with size activity and supported or not. It is an advert but they move a lot when not supported.

Don't ask me how i found it, but the boys can have some fun. Someone has spent a lot of time watching breasts to get make this.

Bring back 1950's style torpedo bra's thats what I say!

No danger of sagging, always have somewhere to hang your hat and coat the only real danger is having someones eye out

Do your boobs hang low, do wibble to and throw?
Can you wrapp them round your head, can touch them with your toe?
Can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow?
You've got saggy tats, you should know!

Lol

Nice to know I have a reason not to go out running -"I'm sorry, I wish to remain pert and perky thanks!"

[BasilRathbon]

How on earth can they do reesearch like this and fail to provide any video evidence?

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-US%26sa%3DN - simulation but keep you occupied for a bit

you can even choose the size and activity - you can tell us which are bounciest. Save all the other lads having to watch all those boobies bounce.

My boobs never bounce. When I take my bra off they both fall to the ground and I get carpet burns on my nips.

That reminds me of a delightfully gross birthday card I bought for somebody once.

On the outside, a cartoon of an old lady and 2 yoofs standing at a bus stop. One of the yoofs sporting a T-shirt with the legend "Show us your t**s".

Inside, same scenario - but old lady has lifted her skirt a few inches to comply with the request on the T-shirt. She's now wearing an evil grin and the yoofs are gob-smacked

You need a "sheepdog bra".
