Abstract
The aim of this research was to examine the effects of kinesio taping on golf driving swing of women amateur golfers. Nine women amateur golfers (Age: 40.33±3.00 yrs, Height: 163.93±3.58 cm, Weight: 55.92±3.90 kg, handicap: 13.44±2.79) participated in this study. This experiment was conducted in two different treatments: kinesio taping treatment (KTT) and non-taping treatment (CON).The taping was applied to the upper body muscles(deltoid, anconeus, spinal erector) and the lower body muscles(rectus femoris, gastrocnemius). Major variables were analyzed such as distance, club speed, ball speed, launch angle and face angle. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to compare between two treatments of the swing by SPSS 20.0 program. Main results were as follows: 1) The comparison of pre- and post-treatment of kinesio taping during driver swing showed a significant increase in distance, club speed and ball speed. 2) In comparison pre- and post-treatment of kinesio taping during driver swing, the launch angle and face angle had a positive effect, but there was no significant difference. As a results, it was found that the application of kinesio taping to women amateur golfers helped improve the distance and accuracy during driver swing. Further research should be carried out with more subjects secured and subdivided by gender and level.
