According to research by the English Institute of Sport (EIS) at the University of Portsmouth, more than a quarter of elite female GB athletes have had their ability to train or compete hampered by breast pain from ill-fitting bras.

If even the best sportswomen have to deal with poor support, then what about the rest of us? Sports Direct’s newly revamped store on Oxford Street has just launched a new multi-brand bra-finding tool to help women find the right support. All you have to do is scan the QR code and then you’ll be taken through questions about what kind of activity you do, support you want and size you are, before throwing up a wide range of bra options available to buy.

Sezer says that that bra finder has “opened up so many more options” for her as she can go in and be told what high-impact bras are available in her size. “It’s done all the hard work for me.”

As a size 16 who wears a 34GG bra, finding support to run, lift and bend is absolutely crucial for Sezer. “I’ve tried every bra when it comes to running but the Elomi Energiser bra is my go-to. It was a God-send when I found that bra. It’s not the prettiest but it’s functional and it’s supportive and doesn’t give me backache.”

Having gone from running her first marathon to teaching yoga, Sezer’s bra needs have obviously changed. She now values comfort more than anything and looks to bras that remain breathable during a sweaty flow. “I definitely think that it’s because brands are making kits in larger size ranges that I’m able to have the range of options that weren’t there before.”
