Few sports bra makers have invested the amount of scientific research that goes into the Shock Absorber bra. That’s certainly true of the latest developments that focus on three kinds of movement common to high-impact sports: run, ball and racket.
Shock Absorber has based its business on extensive research into breast movement. The latest range of its bras is the most focused yet on how to control the potential damage involved with breast movement in exercise activities, especially high-impact sports.
Shock Absorber Bra Puts Focus On Performance
For those who keep their eyes on the ball, Shock Absorber has developed the Arc-Control Sports Bra B5046. This model is intended for women who play high impact ball sports such as basketball, volleyball and netball, where excessive vertical bounce occurs because of the frequency of jumping. This model was designed with an arc-control support system to restrict vertical bounce by as much as 79 percent over wearing no bra at all.
Among its other features, the Arc-Control model sites on a wide chest band, the type most recommended to prevent friction and ride-up and to give good support. Wireless lined cups shape and support the breasts, providing the encapsulation that research has shown works best at limiting breast bounce. The Arc-Control’s wide straps support over the shoulders without digging, and adjust conveniently in front. Meanwhile, the racer back design allows full range of motion for arm movement without chafing. Moisture-wicking fabric draws perspiration away from the body, while the wings of the bra are made of power mesh to promote breathability to keep the wearer cool
For runners, Shock Absorber designed the Infinity Sports Bra B5044. As a woman runs, her breasts move repeatedly in a figure-8 pattern. As a result of this constant up and down, side-to-side movement, rubbing and chafing occur frequently. To counteract this, Shock Absorber made the Infinity model to give total support to reduce excessive breast movement. Shock Absorber calculated a reduction of up to 78 percent bounce during testing.
The Infinity model also features reflective metallic trim throughout the athletic bra to make a runner more visible on roads and trails. The cups’ seamless lining cuts down on injuries from repeated friction, while covered elastic hidden under arms reduces skin irritation. Wide, cushioned shoulder straps distribute breast weight evenly and adjust in the back for maximum comfort. A moisture-wicking chest band that dries quickly minimizes the collection of perspiration at key hot spot. The Infinity also is made with performance fabrics that allow air to circulate to the skin, helping to keep the runner cool. which is essential to keep you cool while exercising.
Finally, there’s the Shock Absorber sports bra design specifically for tennis, squash and badminton players. These athletes endure more lateral breast movement when they serve, lunge to the side and rotate their bodies to catch balls. For them, Shock Absorber created the Dynamic-M support system to reduce side-to-side breast movements. Once again, Shock Absorber’s testing found a 78 percent decrease in lateral bounce.
The features of Dynamic-M support system include seamless, non-slip straps adjustable in front, smooth molded cups for support and shape, a quick-dry maximum comfort chest band, high-performance fabrics and breathable mesh zones to keep the body cool, and a strap-glide device to allow free arm movement.
With the focus on performance, a Shock Absorber bra can help a woman athlete keep her focus on the game.
