Breasts suffer with exercise and ordinary bras do not help prevent it, according to sports biomechanics specialist Joanna Scurr, from the University of Portsmouth, in England. After studying 70 female athletes, Scurr found that some breasts moved up to 21 cm . "Even in light exercises, 60% of the athletes suffer pain in the breasts", says Scurr, who collaborates in the design of an ideal bra for the practice of sport. Something similar is being done by experts from the University of Wollongong, in Australia, as they have developed a bra with sensors that monitor the swaying of the breasts during exercise.
