Supporting Female Athletes
At boobydoo, we're commited to delivering elite-level breast health & sports bra education, expert fittings and the right sports bras for the individual - helping athletes train harder, perform stronger and compete with confidence.
Sports Bras for Professionals
Why it matters?
The right sports bra can enhance running efficiency, improve posture, reduce perceived exertion and significantly boost confidence and performance. When athletes feel supported, they’re able to focus fully on technique and speed rather than discomfort or distraction. Proper support can also help minimise breast movement, which is linked to reduced risk of pain and long-term tissue damage.
We currently partner with professional football, rugby and performance teams to ensure every player receives the correct support for comfort, performance and injury prevention. Our fitting approach is grounded in education, evidence and individual athlete needs, so every woman can train and compete with confidence.
Because every athlete deserves to move freely, feel supported, and perform at their best.
Our Services
Our Complete Prescription Service provides an end-to-end solution including education, expert fittings and full sports bra supply. It ensure every athlete receives the right fit, support and knowledge to perform at her best.
Complete Prescription Service
Many athletes don’t know what a correct sports bra fit feels like, and even a good style may not suit every activity. Our personalised fittings give athletes the knowledge, confidence and support they need to train and perform at their best.
Personalised Fitting Services
One of our experts will visit your club to deliver an engaging session covering the importance of sports bras, practical fitting tips and what to look for when buying. Athletes leave with knowledge that improves comfort, confidence and performance.
In-Person Educational Workshops
Our digital package offers engaging, easy-to-digest breast health education that can be shared across your organisation. Athletes and coaching staff can access it anytime, anywhere, whenever it’s needed.

The Facts &
Figures
A study completed in 2022 by The National Library of Medicine, shows increasing levels of breast support were associated with reductions in peak knee flexion and peak knee valgus angles as well as reduction in peak knee valgus movement.
The study also found increasing levels of breast support were associated with greater trunk flexion angles at initial contact and greater peak trunk flexion angles.

Lower levels of breast support are associated with knee joint and trunk biomechanical profiles suggested to increase ACL injury risk.

A new study in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living found that greater breast support during running is associated with increased knee joint stiffness, altering the lower body biomechanics of female runners. Specifically, a low support bra was associated with a 2% increase in knee joint stiffness, and a high support bra with 5%.
Overall, a well-designed sports bra could increase a female’s running performance by 7%.
The right sports bra can increase your running performance by 7%.

Research from the University of Portsmouth (Prof. Joanna Wakefield-Scurr and colleagues). Reported in Portsmouth’s Research Group in Breast Health and summarised in media/industry pieces, shows that poorly controlled breast movement and inadequate breast support can shorten running stride by about 4 cm (per step), which commentators note would add up to roughly an extra mile over a marathon.

Inadequate breast support can reduce stride length by up to 4cm.

A study into Contact Breast Injuries Among Female Athletes: A systematic review shows that despite the frequent occurrence of CBIs among female athletes, reporting and treatment remains low. Awareness and education of all stakeholders are fundamental to ensuring better breast safety in female sport. Identifying the mechanics, severity and risk factors of CBIs through thorough injury surveillance must be a focus of further research.
