This study aimed to evaluate breast pain and sports bra usage reported by Chinese women and to analyse whether they were affected by age, education, occupation, income or breast size. Four hundred and four Chinese women completed a questionnaire to determine their breast pain and its frequency as well as sports bra usage. Although more than 60% of Chinese women experienced breast pain during exercise, only 40% of them had ever worn a sports bra. The high percentage of participants who experienced breast pain and low percentage of sports bra usage confirmed the need to educate Chinese women on sport bra fit, design and reasons for wearing sports bras. Age, bra size and income level should be considered when implementing these educational programs.

Celem badania była ocena bólu piersi i użytkowania biustonosza sportowego oraz analiza wyników ze względu na wiek, wykształcenie, zawód, dochód i rozmiar piersi użytkowniczek. Czterysta cztery chińskie kobiety wypełniły kwestionariusz w celu określenia bólu piersi i jego częstotliwości, a także użycia biustonosza sportowego. Chociaż ponad 60% chińskich kobiet doświadczyło bólu podczas ćwiczeń, tylko 40% z nich nosiło stanik sportowy. Wysoki odsetek uczestniczek, które doświadczyły bólu piersi i niskiego odsetka użycia biustonosza sportowego, potwierdziły potrzebę edukowania chińskich kobiet na temat sportowego dopasowania biustonosza, projektowania i powodów noszenia sportowych biustonoszy. Przy realizacji tych programów edukacyjnych należy wziąć pod uwagę wiek, rozmiar biustonosza i poziom dochodów użytkowniczek.
