sports bra

Athletic chest garment

A sports bra is a supportive undergarment designed to minimize breast movement during physical activity.

Unlike regular bras, sports bras use compression, encapsulation, or both to reduce bounce and prevent discomfort during exercise: I always wear a sports bra when I run.

They typically feature wider straps, stretchy fabric, and no underwire.
