The Importance of Endurance Training for Golfers

Golf, although not thought of a strenuous activity, requires a higher level of fitness than most people would think.

Firstly, in a single round of golf, a golfer will swing an estimated average of 300 swings (including practice swings) and walk seven to eight thousand yards, the equivalent of four to five miles. Even riding in a cart, you may walk two to four miles.

Secondly, swinging a club over and over again twists the neck, back, shoulders and arms unnaturally, the physical stress loads become substantial.

Therefore, overall fitness and endurance play a critical role in the game!

Stronger, fitter, more flexible athletes hit a ball further and straighter, have better touch around the greens and respond better under pressure, in the closing holes, than do their weaker counterparts.

The American Heart Association recommends that everyone reach a minimum of 30 minutes of some form of cardiovascular exercise 5 to 7 days per week. Get your cardio ‘in’ with CardioGolf™.
