These sports bras offer high support for all high-impact sports.
What level of support do you need for which activity?
The support of sports bras should adapt to your activity. Our range comes in three levels:
- Level 1: light support for activities that cause gentle breast movement (Pilates, stretching, strength training, etc.);
- Level 3: medium support for activities that lead to a moderate level of bouncing (dancing, fitness, cardio training, etc.);
- Level 5: high support for activities involving intensive movement (step aerobics, running, trampoline, etc.).
How to wear high-support sports bras with convertible straps
To make it easier to wear sports bras, we recommend fastening them in front and then placing the clasp at the back. Then raise them over your bust and place the straps as you would with a standard bra.
High, medium or light support, how do you choose?
The tension created during sports activities stretches the skin and ligaments of the bust. Without adequate support, you are more likely to suffer from pain or premature sagging. On the other hand, excessive support can have detrimental consequences. So, your bra should have the right level of support for your cup size, as well as for the intensity of the impacts. The idea is to protect your chest without altering the natural movement of the breast.
What if my cup size is larger than a C or D?
We designed the same sports bra in black, suitable for EFGH cup sizes (product code: 8756554).
How do we check the support levels offered by Decathlon sports bras?
Decathlon sports bras are evaluated in our laboratories using a chest support test. This measures how much your chest slows down during sports activity. There are three levels of support: 1 for light support, 3 for medium support and 5 for high support.

How do these high-support sports bras with convertible straps free your movements?
An enjoyable workout experience depends on comfortable clothing that frees your movements. This is what we had in mind when we designed this sports bra. Its straps are adjustable and can be worn straight or crossed. To cross them in the middle of your back, simply use the hook to attach the two rings together. This frees your shoulders for greater ease of movement.
Why is it important to protect your chest during exercise?
During exercise, your breasts, which are fragile and supported almost exclusively by the skin, experience much more stress than in daily life. Regardless of your cup size or age, they are subject to movements and bounces that can create a force up to five times their weight. Wearing a sports bra provides the support, comfort and protection your breasts need. It protects your breasts from impact, pain and premature sagging.
How are Decathlon sports bras designed?
Decathlon bras are designed by our sports team to prevent health problems and keep you as comfortable as possible. We avoid using underwire to reduce the risk of injury and compression of the lymphatic nodes. We also minimize seams over the nipples to prevent irritation. Finally, the use of fabrics that promote sweat absorption ensures your comfort, significantly reducing the risk of skin irritation.
How to care for high-support sports bras with convertible straps
Designed for intensive sports use, this sports bra can withstand repeated washing. We recommend washing at 30°C or less and using our specially designed laundry bag (reference 8505236). Use liquid detergent instead of powder and do not use fabric softener as it can affect the fabric's breathability. We do not recommend tumble drying these sports bras.
How do you know what size sports bra to choose?
By choosing the right size, sports bras provide support and comfort. To determine your size, you will need a tape measure: - Stand in front of a mirror; - Place it horizontally on your upper back, at the bottom of your shoulder blades; - Bring the tape measure along the fullest part of your bust; - Take the measurement without pulling it tight; - Try using our online calculator to make the process easier.
