Recently, researchers at the University of Memphis have found that sports bras with high-support can actually help women run faster.
A group of recreational runners completed 3 minute runs under different supportive conditions - high, low and bare.
Studies found an average improved time of 4.2 seconds a minute when women were wearing the sports bras with increased support.
This suggests that sports bras are not only a piece of activewear, but an important tool when it comes to performance.
A good, high-support sports bra is key to enhanced comfort, performance, risk of injury and support. Here are some of our favourites that you should add to your running activewear:
