El enfoque cientÃfico del entrenamiento de fuerza en golf se ha dirigido especialmente a muscle groups of shoulder, hip and trunk rotators in strength programs designed specifically for golf.
not find any English study on this topic: It is striking that this occurs in a country that invests in the creation of golf-related areas and the training of players.
There is a line of study of improved performance, in which programs are implemented between 8 and 11 weeks and analyzed changes at the end of the program in federal golfers. These studies tend to analyze two types of variables: First, the functional improvement in muscle groups outlined above, and secondly, the improvement of specific values Performance in golf, the distance of the drive, putt or control the speed at the point of impact or acceleration.
This research looks for relationships of improvements and declines, and perhaps still at an early stage has not yet found a "formula optimization" are usually given for good functional improvements in functional groups, and even relate technical aspects such as performance on the drive or putt, not known, or consult experts in technical courses that could indicate the ideal or optimal values. Perhaps an interesting future direction is to relate ratios of different muscle groups with the flexibility or further analysis of physical and technical relations.
Other lines of research focus on rehabilitation, rehabilitation and injury prevention, especially in the back of the golfer, and to a lesser extent, on the shoulder. We
now a more detailed analysis of the research strength in performance-oriented golf:
Sell's article and others (Reference 1, year 2007) shows that there is little scientific research on golf, despite the high number for proposals for training and support. Therefore, this paper studies the importance of strength, flexibility and balance.
After applying tests golfers of different levels, it is concluded that the qualities that differentiates the quality of the golfer are:
* values \u200b\u200bof strength and flexibility in the hip, trunk and shoulder stability
* Balance-open eyes
This study was conducted in male golfers uninjured average age of 45 years.
In another study (Lephart et al, reference 2, year 2007) was applied training program for golfers trained 8 weeks (nearly 2 / 3 times per week for at least the last year) with an average age of 47 years . After applying a specific training program conditionally applied to golf, in 3-4 sessions a week, tests were made of the following values:
* Strength in the trunk, shoulder and hip
* Flexibility * Balance, Stability
* *
swing mechanics golf specific Performance Following
8 weeks of training were significant improvements were seen in:
* Strength: trunk rotation, shoulder abduction,
* Flexibility: improved continuously in the trunk, shoulder and hip.
* Rotate the upper body at the point of acceleration of the swing.
no significant improvements were seen in:
- Distance and speed of scrimmage
- Stability and balance are
Decreases in:
- upper trunk rotation in the acceleration and impact points
- pelvic rotation points "top" and acceleration
Another study (Doan et al, Reference 3 in 2006) implemented a program Conditional physical training of 11 weeks in 16 golfers (10 men and 6 women) of Division 1 of the NCAA and found improvements of between 7.3% and 19.9% \u200b\u200bin values \u200b\u200bof strength, power and flexibility. In addition, it helped improve speed "clubhead" without harming the putt. However, putting distance control was significantly improved in the group of men but not women.
Another study (Fletcher et al, Reference 7, year 2004) that implemented a training program for 8 weeks, combining free weights and plyometrics, there was a speed improvement "clubhead" and the distance of the drive, as well as values force and acceleration necessary sequential different muscle groups involved in the gesture.
