Golf is in the air in Dublin, OH as Tiger and the PGA have invaded my neck of the woods for the Memorial Tournament.\u00a0 Too bad I am on vacation missing it!!\u00a0 Anyway, I just read a new research article validating what many of us have been saying for years about dynamic warm-up – this time it relates\u00a0to golfers.<\/p>\n

Do you care about club head speed, accuracy and consistent ball contact?\u00a0 Then listen up.\u00a0 In the most recent edition of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research<\/em>, Jeffrey Gergley reveals some important findings relative to a passive stretching regime coupled with an active dynamic (AD) warm-up versus just an AD warm-up and its effects on golf performance.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, his study involved 15 young male competitive golfers.\u00a0 Immediately after the warm-up, each subject was instructed to hit 10 full-swing golf shots with their driver after their normal pre-shot routine with 1 minute rest intervals between each shot.\u00a0 The results are as follows:<\/p>\n

Golfers who used the 20 minute passive stretch routine in addition to the AD warm-up with golf clubs saw:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A 4.91% decrease in club head speed<\/li>\n
  2. A 5.62% decrease in distance<\/li>\n
  3. A 31.04% decrease in accuracy<\/li>\n
  4. A 16.34% decrease in ball contact consistency<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wow!!\u00a0 The take home message is this – golfers should focus their warm-up routine on active movements with the golf club emphasizing the bio mechanical range of motion needed in the golf swing itself.\u00a0 Using a thorough dynamic warm-up will adequately prepare golfers to hit the ball better and reduce injuries.<\/p>\n
