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.
Yeah, managing cost barrier to entry is a good thing.
Oh I didn’t realise we’d already been through this with swimsuits! Do football boots work the same way? Are some just better than others?
