Abstract
Purpose: This study examined the effects of golf rehabilitation exercise on swing power, swing speed, X-factor and club head speed between novice and expert golfer. Methods: The participants were 12 novice and 12 experts. They participated in a golf rehabilitation exercise program for 6 weeks. This program consisted of 5 steps and 4 items (sleeper stretch, full side plank, push-up to plank, high plank knee unders). A three-dimensional motion analyzer was used to measure the X-factor (angle between shoulder and pelvis at top of backswing). Primus RS was used to measure the swing power and swing speed. The golf simulator was used to measure the clubhead speed. In the study, we compared the dependent variables before and after the exercise between the novice and expert. Results: Swing power, swing speed, X-factor, and clubhead speed were significantly increased after the exercise in both groups. There was no significant difference in swing power, swing speed, and X-factor between the groups, but the clubhead speed of expert golfers was significantly increased than that of the novice. Conclusion: This study exhibits that the rehabilitation exercise for golfers was effective for increasing swing power, swing speed, X-factor, and club head speed for both novice and expert golfers.
