Summary

Golfers often experience back pain due to muscular imbalances in spine-stabilizing muscles. Targeted training can help prevent golf-related spinal issues.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Kinesiology

Context:

  • Golf is widely considered a low-risk sport for injuries.
  • However, a significant number of golfers report spinal problems.
  • Poor physical condition may contribute to these issues.

Purpose:

  • To investigate potential deficits in spine-stabilizing muscles among golfers.
  • To compare the trunk muscle strength of golfers with a non-athletic control group.

Summary:

  • Twenty-three male golfers without back pain were assessed for maximal isometric trunk muscle strength.
  • Golfers demonstrated significantly stronger lumbar extensors compared to the control group.
  • A notable muscular imbalance was observed in the lateral flexors and rotators of the spine among golfers.

Impact:

  • Findings suggest that golfers may possess specific muscular imbalances.
  • These imbalances could predispose them to spinal issues.
  • Recommends specific, balanced strengthening programs for spine-stabilizing muscles to mitigate back pain risk in golfers.
