“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Very little research has been conducted on the forearm and lower limb during the golf swing, 4 14 15 and one study compared expert and novice differences in muscle activity during the golf swing. 16 However, the latter paper merely reported that there was larger variation in muscle activity in the novice golfers than the expert golfers, with no data on muscle activity reported.…”

Muscle activity during the golf swing

In the right hands, the golf swing is a motion that inspires looks of awe from the public. It is a complex movement of the whole body to generate power to a golf ball to propel the ball great distances with accuracy. This movement relies on the coordinated sequence of muscle activation to produce a fluid and reproducible movement. This paper reviews the literature on golf swing related muscle activity. The phases of this activity are discussed with a view to assisting the practitioner in understanding the swing. Such understanding may help in the management of the injured golfer.

“…Studies performed by Kao et al 5 and Jobe et al 10 analysed scapular and rotator cuff function during the golf swing. The activity of the trunk activity, both anterior and posterior, 2 3 6 the lower limbs, 4 and the forearm 14 during the golf swing have been the focus of other separate studies.…”

“…A fourth Casio Ex-FH20 camera (Casio, Tokyo, Japan) at 1000 Hz was placed in front of the ball, in order to determine the instant of impact. Two reflective tapes (Horton et al, 2001) were placed on the club to divide the swing in three phases (Bechler et al, 1995;Pink et al, 1993;Watkins et al, 1996). (1) Backswing -from the beginning until the top of the swing; (2) Downswing -from the top until impact; and (3) Follow-Through -from impact until the end of the swing.…”

a b s t r a c tThere is a lack of studies regarding EMG temporal analysis during dynamic and complex motor tasks, such as golf swing. The aim of this study is to analyze the EMG onset during the golf swing, by comparing two different threshold methods. Method A threshold was determined using the baseline activity recorded between two maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Method B threshold was calculated using the mean EMG activity for 1000 ms before the 500 ms prior to the start of the Backswing. Two different clubs were also studied. Three-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare methods, muscles and clubs. Two-way mixed Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with absolute agreement was used to determine the methods reliability.Club type usage showed no influence in onset detection. Rectus abdominis (RA) showed the higher agreement between methods. Erector spinae (ES), on the other hand, showed a very low agreement, that might be related to postural activity before the swing. External oblique (EO) is the first being activated, at 1295 ms prior impact. There is a similar activation time between right and left muscles sides, although the right EO showed better agreement between methods than left side. Therefore, the algorithms usage is task-and muscle-dependent.
