Although some research in the past has examined how physical limitations in strength or flexibility affect a golfer's performance, the performance outcome most measured was driving distance. Currently, there are no data that have examined the relationship between selected strength and flexibility variables and golf swing faults. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) level 1 movement screen variables and 14 common golf swing faults. Thirty-six male and female golfers (mean age, 25.4 ± 9.9 years; height, 175.9 ± 16.2 cm; mass, 76.2 ± 14.6 kg; handicap, 14.2 ± 10.4) participated. Twelve physical tests of strength, flexibility, and balance were assessed using the TPI level 1 golf fitness screening tool. Golfers then hit 4 golf shots (with a 5-iron) while being videoed, and those were then analyzed for 14 different golf swing faults (using V1Pro software). Three significant associations between a physical limitation and a particular golf swing fault were found: toe touch and early hip extension (p = 0.015), bridge on right side with both early hip extension (p = 0.050), and loss of posture (p = 0.028). In addition, an odds ratio showed that when a golfer could not overhead deep squat or single leg balance on left side, they were 2-3 times more likely to exhibit a early hip extension, loss of posture, or slide during the golf swing, as compared with those who could perform a correct overhead deep squat. Based on our findings, it is important for the golf fitness professional to particularly address a golfer's core strength, balance, and hamstring flexibility to help avoid common golf swing faults, which affect a golfer's ball striking ability and ultimately their performance.
尽管过去有一些研究考察了力量或柔韧性等身体限制因素如何影响高尔夫球手的表现，但最常测量的表现结果是开球距离。目前，尚无数据研究过选定的力量和柔韧性变量与高尔夫挥杆错误之间的关系。本研究的目的是检验 Titleist Performance Institute（TPI）一级运动筛查变量与 14 种常见高尔夫挥杆错误之间的关系。36 名男女高尔夫球手（平均年龄 25.4±9.9 岁；身高 175.9±16.2cm；体重 76.2±14.6kg；差点 14.2±10.4）参与了研究。使用 TPI 一级高尔夫体能筛查工具评估了 12 项力量、柔韧性和平衡测试。然后，让高尔夫球手在拍摄视频的情况下用 5 号铁杆击球 4 次，然后使用 V1Pro 软件对 14 种不同的高尔夫挥杆错误进行分析。发现身体限制与特定高尔夫挥杆错误之间存在 3 个显著关联：触脚趾和早期髋关节伸展（p=0.015）、右侧桥接且早期髋关节伸展（p=0.050）和姿势丧失（p=0.028）。此外，优势比表明，当高尔夫球手无法进行过头深蹲或左侧单腿平衡时，他们在高尔夫挥杆中表现出早期髋关节伸展、姿势丧失或滑动的可能性是能够正确进行过头深蹲的高尔夫球手的 2-3 倍。根据我们的发现，对于高尔夫体能专业人士来说，特别注意高尔夫球手的核心力量、平衡和腿筋柔韧性非常重要，这有助于避免常见的高尔夫挥杆错误，这些错误会影响高尔夫球手的击球能力，并最终影响他们的表现。
