First there is the sweat factor. You perspire when you work out and it can get very uncomfortable if your clothes, bra included, do not absorb sweat readily. If sweat gets trapped between breasts and bra, bacteria would accumulate. Not only would you stink, you might even end up with a rash.

Then there is the extra support needed. When you run, breasts bounce up and down and regular bras would not be able to hold your breasts reasonably secure. As the breasts go down, gravity tugs twice as hard at your breast tissue and puts more strain on the skin around your breasts (your natural bra), leading to faster sagging. You might not bother much when you are young, but as you get older, what bras you wear in your youth would affect how perky or saggy you are as you time passes by.
