Abstract des Autors

The golf swing is one of the most complexes of sport motions. The purpose of this
study was to describe weight transfer during the golf swing, determine interindividual
stability of performance and to determine the relation between weight transfer and
club head speed. To measure force action under lower extremities were used two force plates KISTLER and to determine club head speed and golf swing phases were used kinematic analyzer CODA Motion System. Force action, measured separately under lower extremities, and club head speed were evaluated at selected events of the golf swing, determined by the temporal position of the club. Weight transfer during the golf swing in elite golf players founded in this study is in agreement with recommended weight transfer in golf coach’s literature and with previous studies. High interindividual stability of performance in weight transfer parameters was found. We found a positive relation between the force action under front lower extremity and club head speed and a negative relation between the force action under back lower extremity and club head speed for some subjects in ball contact event. However, analysis of the fastest trials of players revealed the influence of the force action of back lower extremity and club head speed. Verf.-Referat
