Understanding Sports Clothing

Why sports clothing?

The primary advantage of wearing sports clothing instead of everyday clothes whilst exercising is that sports clothes are designed to cope with the physical effects has on the body. To get maximum benefits from your sports clothes, matching the clothes to the activity is of great importance.

Sportswear is designed to be lightweight with maximum comfort, to enable every athlete to perform to the best of their ability without the clothing restricting movement. Feeling comfortable in your clothes is not just about practicality but style as well and that is why BeThatBody stock clothes that excel in performance and feature the latest styles.

High Impact Sports Clothing

If you are taking part in a high impact sporting activity it is important to wear clothing that provides adequate support. A chest that is not properly supported could result in pain whilst exercising and long term damage. BeThatBody have a range of sports cami tops with hidden support for those who would like to have maximum support with restriction to movement. If you would rather wear a loose fitting top over a supportive bra there is a wide selection of lightweight T-shirts.

The chest is not the only area that needs support and protection when exercising, your feet take on a large part of the strain so a good quality sports shoe is an essential. A sports trainer should support the foot to prevent fatigue and stop the foot from aching and of course look good.

Freedom & Flexibility

BeThatBody has a range of clothes that are ideal for low impact sports that require a large amount of freedom of movement. When taking part in a yoga class it is important to be able to move the body freely with the comfort of knowing that your clothes will stay in place!

Summer Sportswear

When exercising in the summer the main aim is to keep cool but not to lose any of the benefits of the clothes. The ideal summer tops are the range of Cami vests that have hidden support but are stylish and comfortable.

If you are looking for a comfortable but flattering style of shorts then the USA Pro clothing demi short would be a good choice. These shorts are close fitting with an elasticated waistline to ensure they stay in place. With length and full length lightweight trousers available there is bound to be something that will fit your style and comfort level.

Winter Sportswear

If you are doing an outside sporting activity during the winter months then it is important to wear warm and protective clothing. We feature a range of base layer tops that are ideal to wear under your regular sports wear to keep you toasty during those colder times.

To build up from the base layers there is a range of lightweight running jackets and long sleeved tops that will keep you warm without weighing you down. The finishing touches come from gloves and a lightweight waterproof jacket.

Unique Clothing Design & Materials

The reason sportswear and gymwear is so effective during exercise is largely down to the unique material and composition of the clothes. Wearing everyday clothing is all well and good, but ultimately you can become very sweaty and loose fitting t-shirts and shorts can be extremely restrictive. These are designed solely with exercising in mind, therefore feature special features and fabrics that will allow your skin to breathe. So with added comfort and extra scope for movement, you are free to enjoy your workout without worrying about what youre wearing.
