Key Components of a Golf Swing
* Stabilization
Movement is initiated from a stable source, the core. During the conditioning
program clients learn to consistently focus on the center of the body
and stabilize through muscle opposition. Most athletes can produce the
force required for hitting a ball but they control eccentrically; produce
inefficient movement and increase stress in opposing planes of movement
and joints.
* Balance
The goal of a Golf fitness conditioning program is not to improve strength
in isolated muscle groups, but is rather to elicit improvement in the
multidirectional multidimensional neuromuscular kinetic chain within
complex motor patterns. In other words, it's the muscles working together
which produce a good golf swing, not pumped, ripped pecs or biceps.
* Concentration and Posture
The mind, body connection is emphasized throughout the conditioning
program. A focus on exercise, performed with awareness, allows the mind
and body to perform their optimum work as a team. Continuous awareness
is a major part of improving posture.
* Breathing and Movement
The Core training program retrains patterns of breathing that are connected
with the structure of movement. Conditioning emphasizes awareness of
breathing patterns which in turn ensures a free flow of cleansing oxygen
throughout the body, improves circulation and helps to avoid unnecessary
tension in the muscles.
* Flexibility
The golfer's full range of motion of the joints will change from week
to week; if there are weakened areas, the individualized fitness program
and structured conditioning will promote healing and reduce the effects
of chronic injuries.
* Strength
Golf is a demanding sport. The golf swing is an extremely high-speed,
torquing movement that needs optimal muscular strength in the entire
body, especially the abdominals and lower back.
A golf fitness session lasts one hour and in that hour we cover the
five aspects which are mentioned above. The best results are seen in
clients that train 3-4 times per week. Results will be seen in a short
space of time and I know that your golf game will improve and that you
will start feeling better and healthier from the first week.
