Technology In Golf
14 years you will see that more professionals hit more fairways then they do now, this could be the fact that the new clubs which are used today may hit the ball a lot further but this also increases the area the ball can be hit off target. But with the technology that is available professional and amateurs can improve their golf game a lot.
Safe and effective performance: Over the years golfers have complained that when they carry there golf bags there shoulders and back hurt so a dual strap has been designed and is fitted to most bags. This helps your back so much, golf shoes have also been designed better so that they offer a lot more grip and stability so you don’t fall over. The golf club has also been designed and made better to stop you from getting blisters, and to give you a better grip of the club.
Training Methods: Heart rate monitoring is a measure of how fit you are. The fitter you are the less your heart has to work. The Hypoxic tent works by removing a portion of the oxygen from the air. A generator feeds low oxygen content air into a specially coated tent. Athletes sleep in this portable, altitude-simulated environment right up until competition day, thereby maximising their performance. People who have injured themselves also use when needed to heel themselves quicker, the low oxygen content makes the red blood cells work faster therefore making the injury heel quicker. Lactate is the unique metabolic variable that indicates the capability of the muscles for an athletic performance. We emphasize "unique" in the preceding sentence because no other metabolic parameter provides the same information. The ability of the muscles to reach a peak performance during an athletic event requires that the systems providing energy be "fine tuned" or "balanced" properly so that the athlete can generate the highest amount of energy per unit of time during a race. Proper training is what accomplishes this fine tuning or optimal balance and it is lactate testing that lets the coach know if the balance has been obtained or how each energy system must be trained in order to obtain the balance.
More than ever golfers are turning to exercises off the course to improve their game. Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam, two of the top players on tour have implemented rigorous "off course" training programs. A motion like the golf swing starts with core strength. Developing strong muscles in the stomach and lower back must be a priority for any golfer looking to reach their full potential. The core is of supreme importance because it serves as the "hub of the golfers wheel." In other words, all movements in the upper and lower body are tied together, supported, and co-ordinated by the core.
A complete program for golf should include exercises off the course that will effectively enhance your golf swing and overall performance. Such exercises should include but are not limited to core exercises, cardiovascular training, and [next page]
