The Effect of an abdominal belt on trunk muscle activity and intra-abdominal pressure during squat lifts / S.M. McGill, R.W. Norman and M.T. Sharratt

Sumario: The purpose of this study was to determine whether abdominal belts such as those prescribed to industrial workers reduced trunk muscle activity and/or increased intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). The muscle activity and IAP results of this study during short duration lifting tasks make it difficult to justify the prescription of abdominal belts to workers
