Golf Specific Strength and Conditioning - Phase 1 Phase 1 focuses on improving mobility, flexibility, balance, proprioception, muscle activation, and stability. Prior to engaging in specific strength training protocols, it is important to identify muscular imbalances, weaknesses, and predispositions for biomechanical restrictions to correct movement. Engaging in strength/power training protocols too soon will only exacerbate poor movement patterns, thus creating a premature ceiling for potential gains. This phase will also ensure the body will be less susceptible to chronic and acute injuries due to improper body alignment and muscle activation patterns. Improvements in power may be seen simply due to increased mobility/flexibility (range of motion).
Golf Specific Strength and Conditioning - Phase 2 Phase 2 training will build upon the foundations of mobility, stability, flexibility, balance and proprioception that were taught in Phase 1 by introducing external resistance to accelerate strength and power gains. Sessions will take place in the PISE Fitness Centre and will utilize equipment such as bands, cables, and free weights. Participants will be taught the correct way to train in order to maximize on course performance, while minimizing the risk for acute and chronic injury.
