An investigation into the relationship of flexibility, power, and strength to club head speed in male golfers.

30 Jul 2009 The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of flexibility, power, and strength to club head speed (CHS) in male golfers. Fifteen golfers (mean age +/- SD: 34.3 +/- 13.6 years) with a handicap of Read more...

The effect of biological movement variability on the performance of the golf swing in high- and low-handicapped players.

30 May 2009 The purpose of this study was to examine the role of neuromotor noise on golf swing performance in high- and low-handicap players. Selected two-dimensional kinematic measures of 20 male golfers (n=10 per high- or low-handicap group) performing 10 ... Read more...

Physiological correlates of golf performance.

29 Apr 2009 Golf is now a sport where physical training is an integral component of elite players' practice and contributes to the ability to play at a high level consistently and without injury. Relationships between physical conditioning and golf performance ... Read more...
