Strength, Support, and Style with Chelsea Athleisure

The Science of Support: Why 80% of Women Wear the Wrong Sports Bra

Yes, you read that right.

A 2024 study by the Journal of Sports Medicine found that 8 out of 10 women are wearing sports bras that offer insufficient support, leading to:

• Breast pain during exercise (56%)
• Long-term tissue damage & sagging (42%)
• Poor posture & shoulder strain (38%)
• Reduced workout performance (61%)

“Your breasts move up to 21 cm during high-impact activity. Without proper encapsulation and compression, that motion causes irreversible Cooper’s ligament damage.” — Dr. Priya Sharma, Sports Physiotherapist, Mumbai

But here’s the good news: Chelsea Athleisure sports bras are designed with biomechanics in mind.

Impact Levels Decoded: Low, Medium, or High — Which One Do You Need?

Not all workouts are created equal. Neither are sports bras.

Pro Tip:

Test your current bra — Jump in place 10 times. If you feel bounce, pull, or pinch, it’s time for an upgrade.

How to Measure Yourself at Home (In 60 Seconds)

No more guessing. Here’s the Chelsea Fit Method:

1. Band Size: Measure under your bust (snug, but not tight). Round to nearest even number.
2. Cup Size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract band size.
   • 1” = A | 2” = B | 3” = C | 4” = D | 5” = DD | 6” = F

Example: Underbust = 33” → Band = 34 Full bust = 39” → Difference = 5” → 34DD
