If you have a larger chest, you should opt for clothing with cups adjusted to each breast . Choose sports bras with zippers at the front, which are easier to take off when your body is sweaty;

Choose breathable and quick-drying materials . Fabrics such as polyamide are ideal, as they function as a “second skin” due to their breathable characteristics. Unlike cotton, they prevent moisture.
