A weightlifting belt is most often worn to increase the amount of weight you can lift. However, there may be other uses as a teaching tool in some contexts.
The intraabdominal pressure created by the lifting belt can provide cues to promote a concentrically-oriented pelvic diaphragm and create an overcoming contraction to enhance lower extremity strength/force production, improve jump landing mechanics, or restore pelvic floor control.
