| Anotation | Golf is a globally popular sport in which men and women compete under the same rules on the same courses. The key difference lies in the positioning of women?s tee boxes closer to the hole, reflecting the assumption that women generally achieve shorter driving distances. The golf swing, a crucial aspect of the game, is a complex multi-joint movement requiring full-body coordination, with consistency and accuracy directly impacting performance. Studies by Egret et al. (2006) and Zheng et al. (2008) indicate that women exhibit greater ranges of motion during swings than men, particularly in the backswing. However, these studies focused solely on driver shots, used primarily for the first stroke on a hole. Conversely, most shots in a game are made with irons?versatile clubs for which scientific research is scarce for both genders. A review by Bourgain et al. (2022) highlights this gap, especially the lack of data on the biomechanics of women?s full swings. This dissertation project aims to analyze and compare the biomechanics of full golf swings in men and women using irons. Through a detailed examination of key biomechanical parameters, the study seeks to understand gender-based differences and their effects on performance. The findings could enhance understanding of biomechanical differences between genders, influencing training, swing techniques, and injury prevention. Additionally, recognizing these differences could inform the development of more inclusive golf instruction tailored to players? specific needs. This research represents a significant step toward advancing knowledge in golf biomechanics and paves the way for future studies. |
