About ASICS sports and running bras
Focus on your fitness goals and never get distracted with ASICS sports bras. Whether you're lunging in a fitness class, playing netball, sprinting round the track or training with your tennis partner, you shouldn't need to worry about movement or discomfort. Our low to high-impact sports bras keep you comfortable, cool and confident as you strive to reach your goals.
What is the difference between a sports bra and a regular bra?
A sports bra is designed for your health and comfort during physical activity, offering features that an everyday bra can't provide. A high-impact sports bra is constructed to limit the up-and-down and side-to-side movement of breast tissue.
The racerback bra design provides a full range of motion, while moisture-wicking fabrics keep you dry and wide, hardware-free, seamless straps prevent chafing and discomfort. A compression bra gives even more support, and a padded sports bra offers increased modesty.
Which type of sports bra is best for running?
When choosing the best sports bra for running, look for one that limits bouncing and the impact of movement. A compression bra, for example, provides reliable support. A seamless bra reduces chafing, while soft, fast-drying materials will keep you comfortable during intense runs.
How to choose the best sports bra for you
The amount of support in a workout bra varies, meaning the right bra for you depends on the type of activity you're doing. You can find three levels of support in a range of sports bras that balance movement with comfort:
- Light support bra: If your activity isn't vigorous, a low-impact bra is a comfortable option that gives you a wide range of unrestricted movement. This type of sports bra is ideal for yoga, Pilates and walking.
- Medium-impact bra: This kind of workout bra will keep you comfortable for sports that don't involve energetic up-and-down movements, like biking, hiking, netball and volleyball.
- High-support bra: For more intense workouts and activities that involve dynamic motions, a high-impact sports bra is the healthy and comfortable choice. This type of bra top provides maximum stability for running, mountain biking, playing basketball or doing dance cardio.
A high-quality padded sports bra is a key part of your exercise wardrobe – the wrong gear can cause friction, chafing and discomfort. Expect your ASICS sport bra, whether you choose high impact, strappy or racerback bra, to incorporate the latest technologies for moisture wicking so you stay dry and comfortable, breathable materials to prevent overheating and a strong structure to keep you supported. The best sports bras will also provide additional stretch and flexibility.
