How to Use a Lifting Belt as a Teaching Tool

November 25, 2019 By Bill Leave a Comment

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.
