Golf is a sport of convenience. One may enjoy the game for 2-5 days in a week. It is a very relaxing to play holes in an order.

During the game, the muscles perform the activity of swinging a golf club. This activity causes fatigue in the body. Therefore a regular stretching exercise must be performed to keep the muscles energized.

In the absence of regular exercises, the body gets tired and starts developing a continuous pain in the body due to fatigue and overuse. If the activity is continued, the body may break down causing a pulled muscle, muscle stiffness, tightness, or some other type of inflammation. One more swing may put you in complete discomfort. It is just like ‘piece of straw that broke the camel’s back.’

Golf swing is a repetitive movement. The body has to repeat the same activity again which fatigues the body in a period of time. If the body cannot cope with the number of swings we are taking, it will break down.

Chronic injuries in golf can be prevented by considering the following three variables: workload, swing mechanics and golf strength.
