This book describes how you can improve your nutritional habits and increase your strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, balance, coordination, and decrease your recovery time between rounds of golf. Common injuries in golf include: low back pain, neck, upper back, and low back sprain/strain, sprains of the wrist ligaments, strains of the muscles in the forearms, shoulders, and hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip and knee pain, subluxations of the bones in the upper & lower extremities, and poor neuromuscular coordination. This book is designed to help condition your body to prevent these injuries. Since (Maximum Power = Force X Velocity), this book will demonstrate specific strengthening exercises for the muscles used in golf. The limiting factors for performance in golf are trunk (core) strength, muscular endurance, cardio-respiratory fitness, coordination, balance, nutritional support, and rest and recovery. Being strong, flexible, and nutritionally fit will help you avoid injuries and make the game more enjoyable. Strength Through Preparation!
