Sports bras are used for extra support and breast lifting during recreational activities and sports. There are different types of sports bras, including compression bras, encapsulation bras, racerback bras, front closure bras, and adjustable strap bras.. The encapsulation sports bra is great for activities that require rigorous movement. These bars use individual cups to support each breast separately. These bras are more naturally shaped than compression bras. By combining both encapsulation and compression will give the best result when doing high impact activities. Compression is more suitable and popular among women with larger breast.
