Wearing a compression garment whilst active can give better results because it combines compression and muscle movement to stimulate lymph flow.
A sports bra acts like a compression garment because it encapsulates and presses the breast against the chest. University of Newcastle (Australia) and (University of Portsmouth (UK) research suggests that wear comfort improves when the support rating of the bra matches the intensity of the activity.
‘Intensity’ has two parts: amount and suddenness. For example, changing from walking to running increases the amount of up-and-down and side-to-side (‘figure 8’) movement and netball combines running with stopping that causes sudden breast movement.

Sports bras tend to flatten the breasts, helping to disguise any differences in breast size or shape.
Medium and maximum support styles have higher cleavages to increase breast encapsulation and cover upper breast or underarm scars. Wider straps give better shoulder comfort.
