Jorgensen T. (1970). On the dynamics of the swing of a golf club. American Journal of Physics 38( 5), 644-651 [ Google Scholar] The principle of energy states that energy can only be transferred and is never created nor destroyed. A total of 11 amateur golfers: 5 males (age: 37.2 [18.7] y, height: 184.4 [9.6] cm, body mass: 89.5 [13.4] kg, and handicap: 9 [6.6]) and 6 females (age: 53.7 [15.0] y, height: 166.8 [5.5] cm, body mass: 67.9 [16.6] kg, and handicap: 13 [6.1]).

Movement occurs at multiple joints and multiple-joint axes at the hip, knee, ankle (talocrural), and subtalar joints Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.If engineers can use potential energy (height) of an object to calculate how fast it will travel when falling, can they do the reverse and calculate how high something will rise if they know its kinetic energy (velocity)? (Answer: Yes, as long as you know either height or velocity, you can calculate the other.) A detailed model of the club was developed to study the energy transfers, conversions, and storage more closely than could be determined from the limited club model contained in the full-body model. This 3D club model has a flexible stepped shaft joined to a rigid club head. The shaft was made up of 15 rigid sub-segments connected by massless 3D beam elements. The mass, inertia, and flexibility properties for the shaft sub-segments were calculated using standard analytical methods. This detailed modeling approach for the golf club agrees with the dynamic modeling methods presented by Friswell and Mottershead ( 1998). Global shaft damping was determined experimentally by fixing the grip end of a club in a cantilever manner, deflecting the club head, and measuring the rate of amplitude decay. This value was assumed to apply to all shaft sub-segments. The rigid club head segment (which includes the hosel section) contains the representative mass, center of gravity (CG) location, and 3x3 inertia tensor. Determination of club head mass and inertia properties was done using either solid modeling techniques described by Oglesby et al. ( 1992) or experimental methods (Johnson, 1994).

The four primary segments measured in the kinematic sequence are pelvis, thorax, lead arm, and club.

To our knowledge, our results provide, for the first time, the quantitative evidence of thigh and shank values of KE and PE across the swing phase and how their precise interactions and conservations (between KE and PE) do optimize the physiological cost of the swing phase. Four key quantitative discoveries are listed in the Results Section 3.1.1. and which support these findings. These quantitative results are consistent with other types of data in case studies reported by others and suggestions and observations made by others [ 18, 23]. Steindler’s definition of a closed kinetic chain exercise is when the distal segment meets “considerable” external resistance that prohibits free movement. Therefore, it is a system where neither the proximal nor the distal segments can move. [3] [2]

International Journal of Sport Biomechanics 1( 3), 221-232 [ Google Scholar] In 1995, Dr Arthur Steindler adapted Reuleaux’s theory and included the analysis of human movement, sport-specific activity patterns and exercise. He suggested that the extremities should rather be thought of as rigid, overlapping segments in series and he defined the kinetic chain as a “combination of several successively arranged joints constituting a complex motor unit.” Cheetham P.J., Martin P.E., Mottram R.E., St.Laurent B.F.

The common belief is that Closed Chain exercises are the preferred rehabilitation for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury because of increased strain, joint laxity, and anterior tibial translation that can occur during Open Chain exercises.
