(2009) Abstract.A review was completed to study the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries in golf and to stimulate the discussion on possible injury mechanisms. The main conclusion of most published studies is that, although professional and amateur golfers show similar anatomical distribution of injuries by body segment, differences tend to be present in the ranking of injury occurrence by anatomical site. This could be explained as a result of several types of variables, like handicap, age, golf swing biomechanics, and training or playing habits. The impact of golf injuries deserves extra attention, namely the interaction between the nature of the injury, practice routines, level of practice, handicap, and frequency of activity. Individual differences and clinical and coaching procedures claim for prospective investigation. Other epidemiological information should still be regarded as insufficient with respect to a full comprehension of injury mechanisms, which can give us a better insight into the evolutionary nature of the injury. Also, a better understanding of golf swing mechanisms and individual neuromuscular aspects can help explain why some individuals are more injury-prone than others.

“…Of the 21 works dealing with this topic, 13 focused exclusively on golf, while the remaining 8 studied a range of sports (including golf) and analyzed the risks of outdoor sports [ 132 , 160 ] and injuries caused while engaged in sports [ 87 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 161 , 162 ]. Among the group of studies focusing exclusively on golf, there were studies on injuries among golfers [ 75 , 82 , 85 , 159 , 163 , 164 , 165 ] and the possible risks for players on the golf course [ 76 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 88 , 166 ]. In this line of research, we found nine publications in both databases [ 76 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 88 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 ].…”

Despite golf’s contribution to health, scientific production related to golf and health has been relatively scarce. This work aims to investigate the state of the art on golf and health and to identify existing gaps and the principal and most notable potential future research trends, contributing to connecting the reality of the facilities dedicated to the practice of this sport and its contribution to raising awareness of the importance of sport in maintaining health. A total of 179 articles were analyzed following the steps for systematic reviews and meta-analysis protocols based on the PRISMA 2020 methodology and QUORUM, and a bibliometric analysis was carried out. Research to date has mainly focused on the benefits of golf in improving health, preventing illness, slowing down aging, or as rehabilitation and on exploring the risks and injuries involved in playing golf. The different ways of promoting participation or changing the image of golf by showing its healthy side are outlined as research trends in the coming years. There is a lack of exploration of the use of technology, the effects of the sport on certain disorders related to psychosocial factors, and further knowledge of the relationships between playing intentions and health. This research provides essential information for researchers who plan to work with golf in the future.

Risk Factors for Knee Injury in Golf: A Systematic Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Golf is commonly considered a low-impact sport that carries little risk of injury to the knee and is generally allowed following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Kinematic and kinetic studies of the golf swing have reported results relevant to the knee, but consensus as to the loads experienced during a swing and how the biomechanics of an individual's technique may expose the knee to risk of injury is lacking. Objectives Our objective was to establish (1) the prevalence of knee injury resulting from participation in golf and (2) the risk factors for knee injury from a biomechanical perspective, based on an improved understanding of the internal loading conditions and kinematics that occur in the knee from the time of addressing the ball to the end of the follow-through.Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to determine the injury rate, kinematic patterns, loading, and muscle activity of the knee during golf. Results A knee injury prevalence of 3-18% was established among both professional and amateur players, with no clear dependence on skill level or sex; however, older players appear at greater risk of injury. Studies reporting kinematics indicate that the lead knee is exposed to a complex series of motions involving rapid extension and large magnitudes of tibial internal rotation, conditions that may pose risks to the structures of a natural knee or TKA. To date, the loads experienced by the lead knee during a golf swing have been reported inconsistently in the literature. Compressive loads ranging from 100 to 440% bodyweight have been calculated and measured using methods including inverse dynamics analysis and instrumented knee implants. Additionally, the magnitude of loading appears to be independent of the club used. Conclusions This review is the first to highlight the lack of consensus regarding knee loading during the golf swing and the associated risks of injury. Results from the literature suggest the lead knee is subject to a higher magnitude of stress and more demanding motions than the trail knee. Therefore, recommendations regarding return to golf following knee injury or surgical intervention should carefully consider the laterality of the injury.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article
