Physical preparation for improving golf performance is a topic of rising interest. However, little known how advancements in empirical evidence have integrated with the practices and perceptions elite professional golfers. To address this shortfall knowledge, forty-nine (n = 32 European Tour, n 17 Challenge Tour) golfers were surveyed on their physical perceptions. Additionally, golfers’ in-tournament training observed at 148th Open Championship gym facility. The majority had experience...

Background: Basketball necessitates high-intensity, intermittent efforts with multidirectional and unpredictable movements, requiring training strategies that enhance players’ physical capacity to meet these demands efficiently. This study aimed examine the effects of a velocity-based curve differential sprinting on overall performance young male basketball players. Methods: A total 24 participants were tested for single- double-legged counter-movement jump (CMJ) height, 10 m linear sprint...

The human factor is central to healthcare, yet its proper management has remained beyond the reach of healthcare organizations. This qualitative study examines strategic resource (HRM) issues in a university and community hospital. findings indicate that two hospitals lacked clear understanding their intent objectives; as result, (HR) practices coherence direction. Whereas hospital understood interrelationship between culture HRM, did not. Moreover, showed only modest competencies needed...

Whilst previous research has highlighted significant relationships between golfers' clubhead velocity (CHV) and their vertical jump height maximum strength, these field-based protocols were unable to measure the actual ground reaction force (vGRF) variables that may correlate performance. The aim of this study was investigate isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), countermovement (CMJ), squat (SJ) drop (DJ) vGRF CHV in highly skilled golfers. Twenty-seven male category 1 golfers performed IMTP,...

A number of field-based investigations have evidenced practically significant relationships between clubhead velocity (CHV), vertical jump performance and maximum strength. Unfortunately, whilst these provide a great deal external validity, they are unable to ascertain ground reaction force (vGRF) variables that may relate golfers' CHVs. This investigation aimed assess if the variance in European Challenge Tour CHVs could be predicted by countermovement (CMJ) positive impulse (PI), isometric...

Despite a growing body of evidence on the positive impact sports science for golf, there is still paucity research investigating "perceptions" and "practices" high-skilled golfers. Professional Golfers' Association Assistant Professionals (future-qualified coaches; n = 430) were surveyed their "sports science", "warm-ups", "cool-downs" "strength conditioning" golf. Participants perceived discipline as beneficial to golfers but lacked implementation in coaching settings. Warm-up protocols...

Previous research has highlighted the positive effect that different warm-up protocols have on golf performance (e.g. Sorbie et al., 2016; Tilley & Macfarlane, 2012) with design of warm-ups and programmes targeting improving through activation development specific muscle groups. This study aimed to examine acute effects two drive in comparison a control condition. Using randomised counterbalanced over three testing sessions, twenty-three highly skilled golfers completed control, dynamic...

ABSTRACT In the golfing literature, clubhead speed is most commonly reported metric to assess golf performance. However, a rise in availability and use of launch monitor technologies recent years has gathered wide range metrics for any given shot. addition, with distance dispersion (accuracy) being outcome measures shot utmost importance golf, monitors can provide an in-depth understanding how been achieved. To date, very limited information offers practitioners working these interlink...

Previous research has sought to establish the relationship countermovement jump (CMJ) performance with clubhead velocity (CHV). However, these investigations either assessed lower skilled golfers, or utilised field-based protocols, which are unable assess a number of biomechanical variables. Fifty highly golfers performed CMJs on Kistler force platforms in laboratory conditions. The CMJ variables included positive impulse, net average power, peak force, at zero and height. Clubhead was...

The aims of the present study were to: 1) investigate within and between-session reliability Trackman 4 launch monitor system, 2) determine inter-relationships some these commonly used metrics. Golfers attended two test sessions at an indoor golf academy performed 10 shots using their own driver. Results showed excellent for CHS (ICC = 0.99; SEM 1.64–1.67 mph), ball speed 0.97–0.99; 2.46–4.42 mph) carry distance 0.91–0.97; 7.80–14.21 mph). In contrast, spin rate worst 0.02–0.60;...

The aim of the present study was to examine association between a comprehensive physical testing battery and measures golf performance in elite female amateur players. Nineteen category one (handicap ≤ 5) or better golfers (age: 16.26 ± 1.28 years, height: 166.26 3.62 cm, mass: 64.04 11.27 kg, wingspan: 146.53 15.59 handicap: +1.45 0.7) volunteered participate this investigation. All attended single 90 min session where shot data (clubhead speed [CHS], ball speed, carry distance, smash...

A significant number of patient encounters are perceived to be difficult. Residents receive little training in managing difficult clinical encounters, and lectures or traditional simulated may not provide the opportunity practice learned skills. Deliberate has been shown effective We used simulation with deliberate feedback train residents encounters.Twelve second-year University Missouri Family Community Medicine residency program participated patients. The patients represented challenging...

Procedural training is integral to family medicine residencies. Although accreditation bodies require that residency programs train residents in procedures relevant their practices, there are no standards defining the scope of medicine. We compared perceived importance 31 by faculty, residents, and recent graduates one institution.An online survey was sent current faculty a large academic residency, as well community practitioners who had graduated from within past 5 years. The asked...

The shaft angle to the ball-to-target line at various points in golf swing is used by coaches as an indication of horizontal delivery plane (HPA). aim current study was understand what degree this simplified method using orientation can predict HPA. Fifty-two male golfers hit 40 drives each indoor biomechanics laboratory. Between-subject regression models were created for relationship between HPA and three different positions. Additionally, single subject small variables. only significant...
