EFFECT OF PLYOMETRIC TRAINING PROGRAM ON GOLF DRIVE PERFORMANCE

Sachan Nidhi

Abstract :

 

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a plyometrics program on golf drive performance. Ten  female golfers’ full golf swing was analyzed for driving distance (DD) before and after an 6–week training program. The control group (n = 5) continued their normal training, while the experimental group (n =5)performed 2 sessions per week of weight  plyometrics. Controls showed no significant (p = 0.05) changes, while experimental subjects showed a significant increase (p = 0.05) in  DD. The changes in golf drive performance were attributed to an increase in muscular force and an improvement in order to acceleration of body parts contributing to a greater final velocity being applied to the ball. It was concluded that plyometrics training can help increase DD in golfers.
