Injury and prevention in golf.

Injuries in sports are inevitable, and so is golf. How to overcome these injuries and get better protection in sports, then you must know what injuries this sport has and some preventive measures. In order to solve these problems, I will tell you about them below.

Golf Injury Report and Preventive Measures

Football, basketball, this sport is definitely very vulnerable in everyone's mind, but you don't know golf. According to expert statistics, the injury rate ranks sixth among all sports. Even the world-famous Tiger Woods and Wei Shengmei were among the injured.

Maybe you will ask, how can a slow sport like golf be more dangerous than a high-risk sport like skiing and skating? In fact, if you don't pay attention, golf injuries may appear on you at any time.

Golf injuries are not exclusive to professional players.

After reading the injury cases of the above professional players, you may say that it is because they usually participate in the competition with too much intensity. For amateurs, as long as they keep a relaxed attitude, it is difficult to get hurt. No! Compared with professional players, golf amateurs are more likely to get hurt. In the past 12 months, 35.2% amateur players in the United States were injured by playing golf. Among them, the back, shoulders, elbows, hips and wrists are very fragile parts.

hard-working

The strength of the body is limited, and the strength of the back is needed to support the golf swing, so the spine and back will bear great pressure, and the pressure on the waist is even greater. Therefore, I would like to remind all golfers not to practice too much, which will cause excessive fatigue and damage to muscles and bones.

shoulder

Compared with China, the research on golf injury abroad started earlier, and there are specialized institutions and research institutes. The American Journal of Sports Injury once reported such an injury case: In the last two years, left-handed? Simon always has pain in his right shoulder when he swings. The pain in his right shoulder even keeps him awake at night.

After video recording and medical equipment inspection, it was found that Simon's right shoulder was too high when he got on the pole, which had caused muscle and ligament damage. What's more, Simon's nervous system has been damaged to some extent because of years of incorrect movements. The results of nuclear magnetic resonance showed that Simon had a slight stroke, which was also caused by incorrect lifting of the pole.

armrest

Many friends who love tennis have heard of it? Tennis elbow? This word. In fact, in golf, similar cases are not uncommon, so it is also called? Golf elbow? . According to the statistics of American Society of Plastic Surgery, golf elbow is the most common elbow pain caused by golf.

Generally speaking, golf elbow is a chronic traumatic inflammation at the starting point of flexor muscle, and its medical name is medial malleolus of humerus. The inducement of the disease is repeated forearm supination and excessive wrist flexion. Once suffering from golf elbow, patients will feel particularly painful at a certain stress point, and even can't use their arms and wrists for some activities.

Some surgeons pointed out that holding it too tightly will cause muscle fatigue. If the muscles are in a state of tension for a long time, it will cause strain and cause golf elbow. In addition, the imbalance of hands during the swing is also the inducement of golf elbow.

wrist

Generally speaking, wrist injuries caused by golf are divided into ligament injuries and tendon injuries. Ligament is the soft tissue connecting bones, and tendon is the soft tissue connecting bones and muscles. Usually ligament injury is more common than tendon injury, and strain and improper exertion are the main reasons. Once ligaments and tendons are damaged, most of the injured parts will be red, swollen, painful and even weak.

In addition to the injury of wrist ligaments and tendons, finger inflammation sometimes bothers golfers. Many golfers hold the lever too hard, which makes the finger soft tissue in a state of overuse for a long time. In the long run, your fingers will tilt uncontrollably. Because this action is similar to the action of shooting and pulling the trigger, it is also called? Trigger hand? . And then what? Trigger hand? Having the characteristics of diffusion, usually spreading from one finger to the other four fingers. In medicine, there is no clear conclusion about the cause of trigger hand. However, it is generally believed that doing an action for a long time will lead to fatigue and affect the health of fingers. What's more, if you don't exert yourself properly, you will find golf lovers with broken fingers. Finger joints, wrists and knees are the most commonly used joints. Once a fracture occurs, the recovery period is longer than ordinary fractures.

How to protect knee joint injury

The knee joint is so important but so fragile that many golfers suffer from knee joint pain. So what should be done to prevent knee pain or injury? According to the expert's suggestion, we can do stretching and strength exercises.

If you ask tiger woods which opponents can stop him from breaking jack nicklaus's Grand Slam title record, he will definitely answer without hesitation. My knee. ? After all, the recent operation to rebuild his left knee is not the first time he has recovered from this disease. The health of his knee joint has become the tiger's number one enemy.

Knee joint pain is a common problem that harms the competitive level of golfers. The knee joint is fragile, the muscles are not strong enough, and the joint mortar is not big enough. This is a fragile joint that needs careful care. Only a few tendons are connected to the thigh bone. Although its structure is conducive to bending forward and then returning to its original position, it may move from left to right during abnormal movement, which will exert pressure on the knee joint. Because of this, the knee is the most vulnerable joint in all sports in the world.

The knee joint is so important but so fragile that many golfers suffer from knee joint pain. So what should be done to prevent knee pain or injury? According to the expert's suggestion, we can do stretching and strength exercises. The following are some suggestions provided by experts to protect knees for golfers' reference:

Stretch leg muscles every day.

Stretching muscles every day helps to keep the knee joint normal and meet the needs of golf swing. Here is a stretching exercise that you can do at home: stand on one leg and put one leg on the other. Exhale and bend in the direction of the front leg. Keep this posture, count to 20, stand up straight, and then repeat the above actions 9 times in the same way. Then change the other leg and repeat the previous process in the other direction in the same way 10 times.

Strengthening exercises of quadriceps femoris

If your quadriceps are strong, they will provide good support for your knees. The following is a daily training method for training quadriceps femoris: put your feet together, stretch your arms forward, slowly lower your body, and squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight. Repeat 20 times.

Wearing tennis shoes to treat knee pain

If your knee hurts, please take off your sneakers with nails on the soles and change to online sneakers. This can reduce the knee twisting and turning movements that easily lead to knee pain and injury. If your knee hurts or hurts, you can ice it or take anti-inflammatory drugs when you get home. After the pain is relieved, resume stretching and intensive training, but the movements should be gentle and soothing to avoid aggravating the injury.

With this kind of care, the knee will soon recover, and you can return to the court to swing and find the feeling of conqueror. Finally, remind golfers that the knees are very fragile and need careful care and recuperation.

Every sport has its own characteristics, and so does golf. If a good exercise does not do a good job of prevention in time, it will inevitably bring some harm to the body. If you want to enjoy the fun of sports better, you must know it before exercise. With a deep understanding, many problems can be avoided.
