Deadlift technique (sumo vs. conventional) and the use of a weightlifting belt do not
affect erector spinae muscle activity.
When controlling for relative load, bar speed does not
affect erector spinae muscle activity during deadlifts.
During the squat, training with higher loads and faster speeds appear to increase erector spinae muscle activity, while internal cues, unstable surfaces, using both barbells and elastic resistance, altering footwear, and using a weightlifting belt do not
affect erector spinae muscle activity.
During deadlifts, training with faster speeds, using conventional or sumo deadlift technique, introducing an unstable surface, and using a weightlifting belt do not
affect erector spinae muscle activity.
The use of instability devices (Swiss ball, stability cushion, BOSU ball) appears to
affect erector spinae muscle activity.
During squats, training with higher loads and faster speeds appear to maximise erector spinae muscle activity, while internal cues, unstable surfaces, using barbells with elastic resistance, changing footwear, or using a weightlifting belt do not
affect erector spinae muscle activity.
Not exact matches
Assessing the effects of cues, Bressel et al. (2009) found that conscious efforts to contract the abdominal
muscles during squats did not
affect the
muscle activity of the
erector spinae.
