Abstract

Abstract Women often use sports bras when doing physical activities, but most women have recently shown interest in using sports bras as everyday bras. Therefore, this study used pressure analysis to identify a suitable sports bra that generates less pressure at the shoulder strap for all breast sizes. Among fashion design and engineering students, an interview was conducted at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University. Based on this random survey, women found more comfort in using sports bras as everyday bras, but the shoulder strap and waistband prevented them from doing it regularly. Therefore, this study emphasized only the shoulder straps because it was the most uncomfortable feature among others. More attention needs to be made to the strap width and neckline when selecting a sports bra because when it comes to females with breast sizes 34C and 36C, encapsulation types with cross-back designs are suitable. However, we noticed that the shoulder straps should be widened based on breast size. The encapsulation type with a racer back is recommended for women with breast size 38C.

把运动胸罩当作日常胸罩来使用，建立自信——一项基于压力分析的研究

女性在进行体育活动时经常使用运动胸罩，但最近大多数女性对运动胸罩表现出了日常使用的兴趣。因此，本研究通过压力分析来确定一款适合所有乳房尺寸的运动胸罩，该胸罩在肩带处产生的压力较小。在服装设计和工程专业的学生中，我们对浙江理工大学的学生进行了采访。根据这项随机调查，女性认为把运动胸罩当作日常胸罩使用更舒适，但肩带和腰带让她们无法经常这样做。因此，本研究只强调肩带，因为它是最不舒服的特征。在选择运动文胸时，更需要注意肩带宽度和领口，因为对于胸围为34C和36C的女性来说，交叉背设计的包封型是合适的。然而，我们注意到肩带应该根据乳房的大小加宽。对于胸围为38C的女性，推荐使用带有赛车背的胶囊型。
