The aim of this study was to develop a laboratory-based treadmill simulation of the on-course physiological demands of an 18-hole round of golf and to identify the underlying physiological responses.
Eight amateur golfers completed a round of golf during which heart rate (HR), steps taken, and global positioning system (GPS) data were assessed. The GPS data were used to create a simulated discontinuous round on a treadmill. Steps taken and HR were recorded during the simulated round.
During the on-course round, players covered a mean (+/-SD) of 8,251 +/- 450 m, taking 12,766 +/- 1,530 steps. The mean exercise intensity during the on-course round was 31.4 +/- 9.3% of age-predicted heart rate reserve (%HRR) or 55.6 +/- 4.4% of age-predicted maximum HR (%HRmax). There were no significant differences between the simulated round and the on-course round for %HRR (P = .537) or %HRmax (P = .561) over the entire round or for each individual hole. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between the two rounds for steps taken. Typical error values for steps taken, HR, %HRmax, and %HRR were 1,083 steps, +/-7.6 b x min(-1), +/-4.5%, and +/-8.1%, respectively.
Overall, the simulated round of golf successfully recreated the demands of an on-course round. This simulated round could be used as a research tool to assess the extent of fatigue during a round of golf or the impact of various interventions on golfers.
本研究旨在开发一种基于实验室的跑步机模拟，以模拟 18 洞高尔夫球场上的生理需求，并确定其潜在的生理反应。
8 名业余高尔夫球手在一轮高尔夫球中完成了一轮，在此期间评估了心率（HR）、步数和全球定位系统（GPS）数据。GPS 数据用于在跑步机上创建模拟的不连续回合。在模拟回合中记录了步数和 HR。
在场上一轮中，球员平均（+/-SD）覆盖 8251 +/- 450 米，共完成 12766 +/- 1530 步。场上一轮的平均运动强度为年龄预测心率储备（%HRR）的 31.4 +/- 9.3%或年龄预测最大心率（%HRmax）的 55.6 +/- 4.4%。在整个回合或每个单独的洞，模拟回合和场上回合的 %HRR（P =.537）或 %HRmax（P =.561）之间没有显著差异。此外，两轮之间的步数没有显著差异。步数、HR、%HRmax 和 %HRR 的典型误差值分别为 1083 步、+/-7.6 b x min(-1)、+/-4.5%和+/-8.1%。
总体而言，模拟的高尔夫球回合成功地再现了场上回合的需求。这个模拟回合可以作为一个研究工具，评估一轮高尔夫球的疲劳程度或各种干预措施对高尔夫球手的影响。
