The athlete is a complicated animal needing to perform at their best at all times. Golf is a very demanding sport that requires strength, power, balance, agility, flexibility, and endurance to perform at your best on the golf course. The type of exercise to achieve the above attributes can be confusing. Many personal trainers often emphasize strength training and flexibility. Others advocate “functional exercises” another confusing term, usually meaning exercises integrating multiple muscles and muscle groups. Most of the time functional exercises for the legs are performed during weight bearing. For example, can you improve your jump height by performing plyometric exercises, explosive weight training or just good old fashion strength training? We completed a pilot study where one group training using plyometrics (jumping exercises against resistance) and the other group strength trained all the muscles in the lower leg that are important to jumping. We found that both groups improved in strength and the ability to jump higher.
All exercises are functional if after exercising there is an improvement in performance. You cannot expect a specific muscle to increase in strength if the muscle is not isolated during an exercise program. This type of isolation is often thought of as non-functional. When muscles co-contract, ( firing at the same time) it is impossible to develop maximum strength of any one of the muscles working together. The ideal exercise program combines isolation and co-contractions of muscle to achieve the best results.
We have been rehabilitating and training athletes for the past 30 combined years. We use many kinds of exercises to rehabilitate and train our athletes. The most important part of designing a program to improve performance is to evaluate the musculoskeletal system to determine the deficits. Once the deficits are identified such as, muscle weakness, poor endurance, and/or lack of explosive power, exercises can be designed to improve those deficits. There are many types of exercises, as mentioned above, plyometrics, explosive weight training, perturbation training, strength training and isokinetics. We use free weights, machine weights, pulleys, balance devices, weighted vests, resistance cords and medicine balls to accomplish our goal of improving performance. The next several issues will focus on the above exercises, defining what, why, and how to incorporate them into a training program. This issue we will start with strength training.
Can strength training improve you game? The answer is YES. It has been demonstrated with research that if we strengthen the appropriate muscle we can increase the club head speed and help to prevent injuries. Weight training was thought to be a remote form of exercises that was designed to create big muscles that caused abnormal movements, which were appropria... | |
