“…In semielite golfers, the most injured area in the body reported was the lumbar spine (lower back) with 19 reported injuries, followed by 4 shoulder and 1 wrist injury. In male semielite golfers ( n = 2 studies (52,79) and 15 subjects), 10 lumbar spine (lower back) injuries were reported. In female semielite golfers ( n = 2 studies (38,79) and 18 subjects), 9 lumbar spine (lower back) injuries and 1 wrist injury were reported.…”

Garrett, JM, Beaumont, PL, van den Hoek, DJ, Veugelers, K, Schmitz, M, and Bennett, H. Injury profiles of elite, semielite, and recreational golfers, and their associated risk factors: a systematic review. J Strength Cond Res 38(6): 1157–1176, 2024—Golf is one of the most participated sports played worldwide. However, how injury distributions change between different golf populations is unknown, and associated injury risk factors are unclear. Therefore, this review aimed to describe the common musculoskeletal injuries in different golf populations and identify their associated risk factors. A systematic search was performed to identify eligible articles through PubMed, SPORTDiscus, EMBASE, and Scopus up until September 4, 2023. Of the 4643 studies identified, 58 satisfied the inclusion criteria. Data from 10,437 subjects were extracted, with the most common area of injury to all golf populations being the lower back. Different injury distributions were found between populations with elite male golfers (n = 1924 injuries, 62% of all injuries) and recreational male golfers (n = 442 injuries, 45% of all injuries) reporting the trunk as the most injured region, whereas upper-extremity injuries were the most prevalent injury in elite female golfers (n = 890 injuries, 42% of all injuries) and recreational female golfers (n = 178 injuries, 47% of all injuries). Range-of-motion deficits at the hip and spine were identified as risk factors for elite golfers, whereas measures of lower-limb and trunk strength endurance were identified as risk factors for recreational golfers, suggesting areas of focus for golf practitioners. However, there is a paucity of robust studies evaluating the epidemiology of musculoskeletal injuries in all golf populations, and because of the variety of methods and measures used, detailed comparisons and definitive recommendations were difficult to make. Nonetheless, this review provides an overview of the common golf injuries and possible risk factors, which can aid partitioners in developing strategies for injury prevention for all golfing demographics.

Objectives: To compare activation ratios of the transverse abdominis (TrA) during an abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM) and abdominal obliques during a golf swing, with and without ultrasound biofeedback, and to determine intrarater reliability of these ultrasound thickness measures. Design: Single-session crossover study. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: Sixteen adult golfers with 2 or more episodes of low back pain (LBP) in the past year. Interventions: Verbal cueing alone and verbal cueing with ultrasound biofeedback. Main Outcome Measures: Bilateral TrA activation ratios were calculated during an ADIM with and without ultrasound biofeedback. Activation ratios of the abdominal obliques were calculated bilaterally during golf swings with and without ultrasound biofeedback. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated for average thickness across all muscles and conditions for the nonbiofeedback trials. Results: Transverse abdominis activation ratios were significantly higher when ultrasound biofeedback was provided bilaterally (P < 0.001). Abdominal oblique activation ratios during the golf swing were also significantly higher with ultrasound biofeedback for the lead (P = 0.014) and trail (P < 0.001) sides. Intraclass correlation coefficient values ranged from 0.92 to 0.97 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Ultrasound biofeedback can increase activation ratios of the TrA during a supine ADIM in adult golfers with a history of LBP. Postswing ultrasound biofeedback increases activation of the abdominal obliques during a golf swing in golfers with a history of LBP. Ultrasound thickness measures of the TrA and obliques have excellent intrarater reliability.
