N2  - The research was conducted to evaluate the frequency of respiration during a repetitive lifting task when abdominal compression occurs from wearing a back belt. Three back belts were evaluated in this study: a nylon back belt, an inflatable back belt and an elastic vest. Analysis of the data revealed that the frequency of respiration increased while wearing the back belts at rest and while performing a repetitive lifting task. A statistically significant increase in the frequency of respiration was found while wearing the nylon back belt during the lifting task.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
