As for the belt, the researchers found that wearing a belt significantly increased the activity of the abdominal and significantly decreased the activity of the external oblique.

Les lombaires aussi. ( MDG avait mis une etude, je peux mettre la reference si ca vous interesse )
The effectiveness of weight-belts during the squat exercise.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of weight-belts during the performance of the parallel squat exercise. Six subjects were filmed (40 fps) as they performed three trials at each of three belt conditions (NB, none; LB, light; HB, heavy) in random order and three load conditions (70, 80, 90% 1RM (one repetition maximum] in increasing order. The parameters examined were collected and interfaced to a computer via an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter: ground reaction forces, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), and EMG for the rectus abdominus (RA), external oblique (EO), and erector spinae (ES) muscles. Most differences were observed during the 90% 1RM condition, and only they are presented in this paper. Maximum IAP values were always greater (P less than 0.05) for the weight-belt conditions (LB, 29.2; HB, 29.1 greater th an NB, 26,8 kPa). Similar results were observed for the mean IAP. The integrated EMG (iEMG) activity of the muscles and adjusted mean values for back compressive force and back muscle force followed a similar but opposite pattern, with NB being the greatest. ES mEMG/(L5/S1) values for HB (18.1%) were the least, followed by LB (20.01%) and NB (22.3%). Few differences were observed between belt types. These data suggest that a weight-belt can aid in supporting the trunk by increasing IAP.

The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of weight belt use in a population of recreational weight trainers. We hypothesized that the majority of weight belt users utilized weight belts to reduce injury risk and/or improve performance while lifting submaximal loads. Three hundred fifty-two strength training health center members (189 men, 156 women, 7 gender not indicated) aged 20-72 years (36.5 +/- 10.5 years) completed a voluntary weight belt use survey. Overall, 27% (94/352) were weight belt users and 73% (258/352) were nonusers. Ninety percent (85/94) of belt users and 63% (55/88) of former belt users utilized belts to prevent injury, whereas 22% (21/94) of belt users and 28% (25/88) of former belt users utilized belts to improve performance. Many belt users were found to utilize belts during inappropriate situations such as lifting light loads or during exercises that do not typically stress the trunk musculature. Based on these findings we suggest that specific educational interventions be developed at health and fitness facilities to help provide a foundation for more informed decision-making regarding weight belt use.
The effectiveness of weight-belts during multiple repetitions of the squat exercise.
Lander JE, Hundley JR, Simonton RL.
Department of Sports Health Science, Life College, Marietta, GA 30060.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of weight-belts during multiple repetitions of the parallel back squat exercise. Five subjects were filmed (50 fps) as they performed eight consecutive trials at each of two weight-belt conditions [with belt = WB, without belt = WOB] in random order at their eight-repetition maximum effort. Other parameters examined were ground reaction forces, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), and mean electromyography (mEMG) for the external oblique (EO), erector spinae (ES), vastus lateralis (VL), and bicep femoris (BF) muscles. All parameters were collected and interfaced to a computer via an A/D converter. WB repetitions were generally performed faster than WOB repetitions, especially by the later repetitions (3.34 vs 3.56 s). WB IAP values were consistently greater (P less than 0.05) than WOB values by 25-40%. IAP increased by approximately 11.5% from the first to the last repetitions. No differences were observed for ES and EO mEMG for belt usage, but values increased by up to 20% across repetitions. Several differences were observed between WB and WOB for the VL and BF mEMG, with WB values being significantly greater. These data suggest that a weight-belt aids in supporting the trunk by increasing IAP, and that any differential effect due to wearing a weight-belt did not occur over eight repetitions.
il faut pousser avec son ventre
Le squat est sdt ça doit être déclencheur vu la pression abdominale.
I′m 46 and been a competitve powerlifter for over 20 years . . . and workout with 500 pounds for reps and I always wear a belt when deadlifting and squatting . . . It′s always the safest way to train and it certainly can′t rob you of the benefits of these productive movements.....WEAR THE BELT!!!!
