- Definitions of Ergonomics and Golf Ergonomics
- Seven main categories of Golf Ergonomics:
Flexibility, Strength, Posture, Balance, Nutrition,
Stress Management and Routine Development.
FLEXIBILITY - Discussion of soft tissue (muscle, ligament, tendon)
and joint flexibility. Targeted recommendations, including stretching
techniques for all sections of the body.
STRENGTH - Discussion of proper muscle development. Specific
recommendations for exercises targeting all sections of the body.
POSTURE - Discussion of the importance of proper posture as it
relates to adapting to the constant physical stress of gravity.
Recommendations regarding golf posture, including stance and
spine angle.
BALANCE - Discussion of the importance of balance as it relates to
proper swing dynamics. Recommendations for improved balance,
including specific techniques.
NUTRITION - Discussion of the importance of proper nutrition as it
relates to golf performance. Recommendations for pre-round,
in-round and post-round nutritional intake.
STRESS MANAGEMENT - Discussion of effective methods for
handling stressful situations, especially during the round.
Recommendations include visualization and breathing techniques.
ROUTINE DEVELOPMENT - Discussion of the importance of the
consistent application of effective pre-round, in-round and post-round
techniques.
- Golf Day (Beginning to End)
Step by step recommendations regarding the application of golf
ergonomics throughout the entire day of each round.
- Summary
Review of the topics discussed. Recommendations regarding
motivation and compliance.
