Swing kinematics of male and female skilled golfers following prolonged putting practice.

Swing kinematics in skilled male golfers following putting practice.

STUDY DESIGN Control laboratory study consisting of preintervention and postintervention measurements. OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of a putting practice session on the kinematics of full golf swings made by skilled male golfers. BACKGROUND Skilled golfers perform putting practice for prolonged periods. The combination of sustained trunk flexion with minimal trunk motion may affect th...

Trunk Rotation and Weight Transfer Patterns between Skilled and Low Skilled Golfers.

The purpose of this study was to examine trunk rotational patterns and weight transfer patterns that may differentiate swing skill level in golfers. Thirteen skilled golfers (mean handicap = 0.8 ± 2.6) and seventeen low skilled golfers (mean handicap = 30.8 ± 5.5) participated in this study. Kinematic and kinetic data were obtained through high-speed 3-D videography and force plates while the p...

Movement variability in the golf swing of male and female skilled golfers.

BACKGROUND Despite the complexity of movement, the swings of skilled golfers are considered to be highly consistent. Interestingly, no direct investigation of movement variability or coupling variability during the swings of skilled golfers has occurred. PURPOSE To determine whether differences in movement variability exist between male and female skilled golfers during the downswing of the f...

The Effects of Increased Body Temperature on Motor Control during Golf Putting

This study investigated the effect of increased core temperature on the performance outcome and movement kinematics of elite golfers during a golf putting task. The study aimed to examine individual differences in the extent to which increased temperature influenced the rate of putting success, whether increased temperature speeded up the timing of the putting downswing and whether elite golfer...
