The greeks just did this naked and skipped the apparently ridiculous amount of materials science needed to wear clothes while jumping.
Also, gymnasts being absolute beasts who can and will do gymasitcs with broken wrists and ankles i'm a little surprised this was even considered.
It does strike me as a little odd that we've become so terrified of our own bodies that we'd rather put in all this effort than just be naked for a bit. How the hell did we get here?
I've heard running and jumping around with boobs isn't the most comfortable.
And I can personally confirm that running around with your dick flopping everywhere is not the best.
can confirm that it is not, and if you get a menstrual cycle, certain times of the month it might actually be more like "exceedingly painful" as opposed to "not the most comfortable"
like smacking a swollen bruise, but your whole tit is the swollen bruise
There's some evidence that sports bras are a truly ancient invention.

I wonder if anyone has looked in to Europeans enforcing nudity taboos as a way of creating a distinction between "civilized" European clothes-wearers and "savage" normal people who didn't have the same nudity taboos. Sort of parallel to the enforcement of Euro family and and sexual norms.
The same is probably true internal to Europe as it Christianized.
media figuring out sex sells somewhere between 1950-1980 so most people are overly titilated day-to-day and thusly judge any nudity as sexual
nah idk just spitballing
Yeah I mean I think it's closely related to the constant sexualization of not only nudity but of basically every aspect of the human body, but I'm not sure if it's directly caused by that or if that's just another symptom. I think modern religious views of the body also sexualize pretty much all nudity but in the opposite way, where it's inherently shameful and wrong to be nude because sexuality is bad and nudity is sexual. Is that the source, or just another symptom?
I don't know, shits complicated
Media figured out sex sells way before 1950. Even the phrase "sex sells" was around as far back as the 1870s. Cigarettes used to come with nudes.
