Bouncing Breasts: A Credible Area of Scientific Research

Actually, I wonder - is there an 'average' natural breast size?

"Average" must have changed over the past few decades since (to me), more women look bigger in overall body shape..across all ethnicities.
I had no idea about problems on running gait form if a woman was extra-endowed. I bet women who have breast implants, yet want to stay fit and trim all-over by exercising, don't even think of these "problems" prior to surgery.

Not surprising that the world of sports medicine research this wouldn't be taken seriously by the study researchers' male colleagues. I'm just guessing, but unless guys personally know women who have had: breast cancer (scare) or who experience back pain/posture problems if woman is busty, many guys still wouldn't truly understand/be sensitive to breast-related problems at all.

I truly would start running again if I could have reduction surgery and be able to afford it and/or avoid problems with scar tissue hiding bad things on a mammogram. I'm a 34DD after losing 20 pounds. I was 36DD before, and it is all dense tissue. I don't know how it affects my running stride , and I used to run before children. I was the same size back then. There is not a bra in all the world that stops the bounce, and the bounce is very uncomfortable, and I didn't like nasty people shouting out lewd comments like they use to do back when I was a runner in my 20's. Any movement at all would seem to bring out the unwelcome comments. I'm anti-social anyway, and don't like people talking to me generally! That seems extreme but it's actually partly true.
