Questions continually arise in the golf fitness industry as to what are the appropriate exercises, areas of the body to train for the game of golf, so and so forth. The first step in the development of a golf fitness training program is to understand what is required of the body in order to execute a proficient golf swing. A biomechanically efficient golf swing requires the development of a number of physical parameters within the body.

In the most basic of termsm, execution of a biomechanically efficient golf swing requires joint mobility, segemental stability, and power. Joint mobility is required in the ankle, hip, thoracic spine, gleno-humeral joint, and wrist. Segemental stablity must be developed within the segments of the lower body, core, scapular, and elbow. Power generation is a total body activity to be developed in a number of movement patterns specific to the golf swing. Each of these physical components of the golf swing can be developed with a comprehensive golf fitness training program. Over time this type of training will provide the golfer with a physical foundation to execute a proficient golf swing.
