Teams of scientists are researching the unique ways that elite sport affects the female body – how breasts alter the way you run, but the right sports bra could give you the edge; how the menstrual cycle could impact performance and what role period trackers could play; and why is there a higher risk of some injuries, and what can be done to avoid them?

    agreed, unless the expense gets into the realm of ridiculous like competitive swimsuits did for a time. then either only the wealthy clubs/athletes have access to the equipment, or everyone does and it’s just an unnecessary expense on the sport. there would have to be health and safety benefits to justify it.
