Thousands of women could be experiencing breast pain while horse-riding, according to a new study.
In research carried out by the University of Portsmouth and Sparsholt College Hampshire, 40 per cent of female horse-riders who took part in an online survey said they experienced breast pain while riding.
The in-depth survey, completed by 1,324 female horse-riders, showed that breast pain and other bra-related issued increased with cup size and body mass.
The research was carried out by Dr Jenny Burbage, of the Department of Sport and Exercise Science at University of Portsmouth, and Lorna Cameron, of Sparsholt College Hampshire.
