Abstract Summary
Although well-designed and properly fitted sports bras can reduce exercise-induced breast discomfort, women often report experiencing frictional bra-breast injuries during prolonged bouts of running. Frictional bra-breast injuries in sport have been significantly associated with age and breast size, whereby older athletes and those with larger breasts experience more of these frictional injuries. Evidence-based strategies to manage frictional bra-breast injuries need to be implemented so that all women, irrespective of age or breast size, can enjoy the health benefits associated with running.
