We are the official sports bra supplier to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS)
and have a reputation for developing the world’s best sports bras.
Our sport bras are rigorously tested for performance and bounce reduction in conjunction
with the AIS’ Biomechanics department.
´Bounce Reduction´ is measured by determining the degree of ´bounce´
experienced by women wearing Berlei sports bras (while enduring differing levels
of impact) compared to the ´bounce´ experienced for the same activity
with no bra at all. A variety of cup sizes are also tested.
This testing allows us to allocate a ´support factor´ rating to all
of our sports bras. These include:
SF3: Ultimate Bounce Reduction
- Perfect for high impact activities like running, netball and soccer.
- Reduces bounce by over 50%.
SF2: Good Bounce Reduction
- Suitable for medium-impact activity like jogging, cycling and softball.
- Reduces bounce by 45-50%
SF1: Moderate Bounce Reduction
- Suitable for low impact activities like yoga, walking and pilates.
- Reduces bounce by 35 – 44%
