According to one study, nearly 35% of golfers are injured while practicing their favorite activity. Whether you're an amateur or a seasoned golfer, golf is definitely a beneficial physical activity. But beware, many injuries can occur during practice. The problems related to playing golf are felt in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, but especially on the back. The repetitive nature of movements and the golf swing are the two main reasons for the occurrence of injuries. The momentum must be perfect if the risk of back pain. Did you know that the golf club head can reach speeds of 160km / h? Such execution speed associated with repetitions of the same movement, all made on a bad biomechanics of the spine and voila! You're ready for the 19th hole ... but sooner than expected! Good technique and good posture (biomechanics) is what it takes for golfers to prevent golf-related pain. 1. Take lessons to improve your punching technique. Good technique means less injuries and a better hand Adjust your swing with your abilities. Ask a pro golf. 2. Do strength exercises specific to golf during the winter. A good exercise program should include flexibility, strengthening exercises and stability. Your strength will increase, your movement will improve, the power of your shots also and especially the body will be stronger and less prone to injury. Refer to a kinesiologist or a coach who knows the course. 3. Before each game, warm up properly. Any warm-up should understand 5 to 10 minutes of brisk walking (or running on the spot) or light jogging, some stretching of muscles called to work and the heating of the momentum field of practice. In addition, the heating prepares you mentally for the game. 5. If your health allows it, use a cart rather than an electric cart. This will transform a sport of skill in cardiovascular activity. Make sure you push your cart instead of pull. 6. If you prefer using your bag, make sure it has two shoulder straps and wear them. Feel free to regularly check your bag if it is heavy. 8. Reduce the backswing (backswing) to avoid unnecessary twisting the spine. This will greatly reduce the risk of back injury and also increases your control as you type. Do not try to emulate Tiger Woods and company, rather follow your physical capabilities. Golf is not a power play, but also precision. You win on all fronts to be more specific, rather than "forcing" your swing to hit far away. Lumbar Belts exist to protect fragile back. By adjusting the voltage depending on the physical effort, it protects the muscles against false movements. These belts are very flexible and lightweight. They do not interfere with your movements, but protect the lower back that are in high demand during the course.
Today we'll talk about some very simple habits being adopted will be very useful to play the 18 holes tire less, enjoying more and preventing injuries. Conclude by talking about the physical recovery after playing. To begin with, as we discussed in the previous article is very important to warm-up exercises and some stretching. This should go in time to the field and know a little bit. A round of Golf can become very long, and during that period we will have to walk, to hit the ball, to wait for the other players .. in order to support the type that need to be prepared both physically and mentally. It is therefore important to wear comfortable clothes and appropriate to the season in which we (that includes shorts, cap and sunglasses in summer). It may seem obvious, but sometimes the label of this sport we do not go so well equipped as it would be advisable. To proceed with the kit, let's talk a little about the bag of sticks. When we prepare to take only what is necessary for the game. This will help us carry no more weight account for 18 holes of the round. When We tend to go move dragging the cart with the sticks, which can be harmful to shoulders and back. Therefore it is more advisable to push, and do alternating both arms, always watching our back right stand. However if the ground is very irregular, or have to climb small curbs or obstacles, pull the cart will provide us with the maneuver. Talking about hydration. While playing golf, our body suffers a constant loss of fluids, and given that about 65% of our body weight is composed of water, it has a great influence on our performance. Wait until you are thirsty to drink supposed to have lost about 1% of our body weight in water. A loss of 2% from the same causes the concentration capacity of the muscles is reduced by 20-30% and a significant loss of concentration, which has a very negative effect on our game. With this in mind, it is very important to start well hydrated and go to the field every so often replenished liquids. A couple of glasses of water half hour before and a good drink every 15-20 minutes we would ensure proper hydration during the entire round. From the 9th hole is advisable to supplement the water supply with a sports drink or sugar-free bubbles to help replenish the energy consumed during the game, or even take a piece of fruit (banana or apple). Finally, since between stroke and stroke can happen quite a while, you should do some light stretching to get the muscles involved in the game is not "cool." After completing the round, it is important to devote five minutes to stretch your arms, legs and back, and recover liquid energy. Ideally, start with some water and a light meal.
