Fitness and performance assessment: Samples for lactate analysis by Analox technology can be plasma, intact whole blood and haemolysed whole blood. The three different matrices give different results, although in practice all three are used. However, to undertake meaningful studies, the reason for the differences should be understood, and values should only be compared to those obtained with the same sample type, i.e. matrix. This is important when interpreting or preparing scientific publications.
The main theoretical difference in the results is due to the distribution of lactate between the different constituents of blood. Lactate is present in the water phase of both the plasma and red cells, but the water content of plasma is higher than the water content of red cells so the distribution of lactate in the blood is not uniform.
Body composition refers to the amount of body fat and fat-free tissues of which your body is comprised. Analysis of the percentage of lean body tissue in comparison to the percentage of body fat tissue gives your trainer a baseline measurement to track your progress. The result of this 30-minute assessment forms the essential component of any body fat loss or muscle-gaining goal.
Video analysis is a very good thing for professionals nowadays they are able to break your swing up into different sections, so you can easily see what you are doing wrong. This is a whole new way of teaching, but it is a lot easier for a professional to teach due to the fact that it is very easy to show their pupil what they are doing wrong. Mental coaching helps you perform better by teaching you proven mental skills used by world-class golfers. It helps both golfers who feel they are in a slump and golfers who simply want to play better by improving mental toughness, course management skills, and practice routines that impart success. There are so many golf psychologists around they are there to mentally prepare a golfer to play well under any situation they are put under. They could be the best golfer inn the world, but if they blow up under pressure then they will never be able to compete at the highest level. Some examples of famous psychologists are Dr. Robert Rotella, Jos Vanstiphout.
Injury prevention and treatment: A number of potential problems can occur to an unprepared player: sunburn, dehydration/sunstroke; hits from a ball (e.g. to players, spectators, groundstaff, etc.); strains and muscle spasms; insect and animal stings and bites; falls or slips; cart accidents; inclement weather/lightening strike.
Here are some safety tips for golfers to stop themselves from injuring themselves.
 All players should undertake proper and adequate warm-up procedures before each game. This should include gentle movement and mobility exercises, leg and shoulder stretches, followed by gentle air swings or ball hits using short irons
 All players should undertake general strength and fitness programs including weight training and/or aerobic activities, e.g. walking or jogging (obtain medical advice if necessary)
 Swing improvement, for both injury prevention and [next page]
