Summary

Golf is becoming increasingly popular in Germany. However, the biomechanical and motor challenge of golf should not be underestimated. Nevertheless, only very few amateur golfers carry out serious preparation and conditioning as part of a strength/stabilization program. The main argument for this limitation is the aspect of "limited time resources". A solution to this problem could therefore be the time-effective and highly individualizable whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) technology.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 16 weeks of WB-EMS application on trunk stability and clubhead speed in male amateur golfers in a (randomized) controlled setting.
