Golf is a highly athletic event, with amateur golfers achieving approximately 90% of their peak muscle activity when driving a golf ball. This is the same lifting intensity as picking up a weight that can only be lifted 4 times before total fatigue. This level of exertion and muscle activation equates golf with such sports as football, hockey and martial arts.
Other athletes outside of golf include conditioning as an integral part of their preparation for such physical demands. Golfers must consider themselves athletes and train using programs scientifically designed to improve integration and synchronisation of the whole body.
Did you know that recurring pain in the back, shoulder, knee, wrist and elbow is much too common amongst golfers. At any given time , as many as 30% of all professional golfers are playing injured, 53% of male and 45% of female golfers suffer from back pain. Those who play golf and participate in another sport are 40% more likely to develop back pain than those who just play golf.
