The effect of a sports bra intervention on perceived breast pain and movement, and bra comfort and support in elite female cricket players

Methods: The sports bras worn by 46 elite female cricket players attending the Fairbreak Invitational 2022 International Cricket Competition (mean age 28.4 ± 6.4 years; bra sizes 8A–14H) was assessed using previously published sports bra design and bra fit criteria. The rankings of breast pain/movement and bra comfort/support of each participant’s own sports bra suggest low levels of bra satisfaction and poor knowledge and skills to choose a correctly fitted, high-support sports bra independently.
