The bras have been designed in such a way that they are only suppose to be worn as outwear when doing exercises like jogging.
Sports bras can also be worn by women who have undergone breast surgical procedures. In a situation like this a women is suppose to look for a bra which has been made from a fabric like Lycra. This type of fabric is good because it helps in reducing swelling because of the surgical procedure.
