Yes Exercise can indeed be a cause of breast pain.

The breast pain during exercise usually happens because of friction so it's important to wear a good quality sports bra that can help prevent the friction caused during exercise so the breasts won't start hurting.

The underwire of your bra can also cause breast pain so if your breasts are hurting during exercise it's normal but you can prevent the breast pain while exercising by purchasing and wearing a quality sports bra while exercising.

Exercise can cause breast pain and I always get some form of breast pain when exercising but a sports bra does help with some of the breast pain and I don't get as much breast pain as I used too.

When I'm at home exercising I just don't wear the bra which helps prevent the friction causing the breast pain.

If at an exercise center around other people then yes wear a sports bra but if you're at home where no one else will notice then just don't wear the bra and you shouldn't get any breast pain while exercising.
