Using a belt can increase abdominal pressure. Abdominal pressure is the pressure inside the abdominal cavity that is generated by the contraction of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm, and is caused by the movement of the abdominal muscles, back muscles, diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and other muscles around the abdomen. When abdominal pressure increases, the coordination of the entire body improves, allowing for greater force to be exerted.
Without thinking too hard, your abdomen will expand in response to the pressure of the belt, and you will easily feel the tension in your stomach.
Some people think, "I don't need a belt because I don't lift heavy weights," or "I'm a beginner, so it's too early for me to wear a belt," but this is a misconception. For those who have just started training, or those who are thin and have a small stomach, it is very difficult to be aware of abdominal pressure.
Therefore, it can be said that beginners really need a belt to get a feel for abdominal pressure and train efficiently.

■Q&A
Q. I've just started weight training. Do I need a belt? A. Yes. In addition to preventing injuries, wearing a belt can increase abdominal pressure and improve training intensity. Abdominal pressure is the pressure inside the abdominal cavity generated by contraction of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm, and increased abdominal pressure allows for greater force to be exerted. People who have just started training may not know how to apply force properly, which can lead to unexpected injuries. A training belt is one of the essential items for weight training.
