Basketball Impact Bra Inserts

A breast injury can have a wide range of impacts. Some Basketball injuries you have probably heard about are sprained ankles, Achilles tendinitis, knee tendinitis, ACL injuries etc. What you won’t hear about often are breast injuries. In a recent study of 194 college level women’s basketball players, they found that 48.8% of women received breast injuries over their career. Staggeringly that is nearly 50% of all women in basketball, the reason you may not heard about these figures is that only 9.6% of these women reported their injury to medical personnel. Despite these injuries being painful they also cause massive drops in performance. In that same study 18.2% of women surveyed indicated that breast injuries affected their sports participation from difficulty playing to missing games.
