Is it true that gymnasts tend to have smaller b*****s?

Question

I know this may seem really random. But i heard it some where, someone/something said that was true. I was just wondering if that is true? and if so, why then?

Answer 1

yes because b***s are mostly fat. so since they are in to olyimpics they excersise alot and have verly littly body fat and more musle so they have small b***s

Answer 2

they don't have a normal puberty, plus they have absolutely no fat. No fat means small b*****s, which are mostly fat. Most skinny girls don't have big b*****s, unless they are fake.  

Answer 3

I heard about that too★  

Answer 4

i think so cuz they run

Answer 5

Extensive exercise, like the training programs the girls in the Olympics go through, slows estrogen production, so, yes.... that is also why  they are so short and look so young also.

Answer 6

Not really, but their bone mass is high and musculature of b*****s is also dense so they appear to have smaller b*****s.

Answer 7

Its because they are very lean. Take a look at female swimmers too. Their body fat percentage is very low.

Answer 8

Yes it is true. Really, it's any woman athlete because of exercise. When you exercise, you burn fat and b*****s are basically fat. So your b*****s are smaller if you do a lot of running or stuff that burns fat.

Answer 9

Do they even have any?

Answer 10

none of the olympic girls were very large chested so I guess that might be true, as too why I dunno.

Answer 11

I think so because they wear those very tight leotards and the tightness on their chest prevents their b*****s to develop normally, since they only wear sports bras.

Answer 12

Yeah, cuz they have strong chest muscles.  So their b***s are smaller.  b***s are just fat.

Answer 13

well if they didn't they would probably get beat up! haha

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

probably...gymnasts tend to be smaller all around. more petite--shawn johnson is only 4'9"!!  plus, they're really muscular, I don't think they have a lot of body fat, which is mostly what b*****s are.

Answer 16

ya, cause theyre so muscular

Answer 17

They exercise so much that they lose a lot of body fat...b*****s are fatty tissue.

You have to remember too, that a lot of these girls are very young...and may not even have hit full puberty yet.

Also...they may have more, but when you see them performing/competing, they may tape down...so they don't bounce. Bouncing is really painful, esp with the hard landings, dismounts, and tumbling.

Answer 18

Yes. Gymnasts tend to have very slender bodies. Puberty can sometimes be kick started if a girl's body is above a certain weight.

Because of this, most gymnasts mature at a later age, which leads to less time to develop breast tissue. Besides, they exercise a lot, so they won't gain much weight there.

Answer 19

The exercises they do have, to an extent, an effect on their body shape, but not entirely.  Have a look at Alicia Sacramone, she's a clear example of this.  Exercise will reduce the size of b*****s, but it won't make it disappear completely.

What is more of a factor is selection.  Unless a girls is very talented, you won't see too many girls at the top of the game that deviate from a certain body type.  This is why almost all basketball players are tall, and almost all gymnasts are short, but there are exeptions to the rule.  Being a gymnast doesn't make you short, it might delay your growth but it won't make you short if you have a tall gene.  A friend of mine has a daughter that was really into gymnastics when she was small.  She went on till she was about 13, had reached level 7, but then puberty hits and she grew, there was no stopping her.  Before she knew it, she was too tall to be good at gymnastics.  Tall girl or anyone that is top heavy doesn't make good gymnasts because of their high center of balance.  They will always lose to the shorter leaner girls.  This is the main reason why you don't see too many tall, or large chested gymnasts at the Olympics.  

Answer 20

Did you not just watch the Olympics? None of those girls would classify as top heavy.

I guess the Chinese girls have yet to develop though... seeing that they are only 12 and 13. d**n Chinese!

Great food, lovely country, very courteous people, yet cheaters at heart! Its a bloody shame it is.

Answer 21

If you look at anyone who is really fit they have small breast. Anyone who works their upper body alot work the muscles that can hold the breast up stronger. Also if you look most gymnasts are lean (no fat) Some have eating disorders So any fat they have in their body gets eaten for engery (b*****s are made up of fat thats why they are all different sizes) They need to be light to fly in the air better. So yes keeping a low body fat and your upper body in shape will result in tiny to no breast.
