Today, AMSSM members Dr. Caitlyn Mooney hosts Dr. Katie Rizzone on the topic of sports bras.  With more women athletes than ever, the sports bra has certainly grown in popularity in the last decades.  This extended podcast episode will visit the history of breast support in sport and discuss how breast pain and discomfort affect sports participation in women, as well as recent research by Dr. Rizzone and colleagues on their recent study on characteristics of sports bra preference in adolescent females.
