Saturday Breakout Session: Saving athletes' joints and muscles, with emphasis on golf

(Swing tips and joint/muscle nutrition)

Sponsored by NCMIC

  

Golf continues to be a popular game for all ages. To play without pain and to be able to play in your 80s and 90s requires a healthy body and a non-stressful swing motion. This course will apply kinesiological principles to the golf swing and outline how proper nutrition can promote musculoskeletal health, which applies to all physical activities, not just golf.

 

Learning objectives

  • Discuss how standing too close to the ball creates swing faults and unnecessary musculoskeletal stress

  • Compensatory movements that sacrifice proper power application and promote injury

  • Diet and musculoskeletal degeneration vs regeneration

  • Nutritional supplements for musculoskeletal health

 

Outline

Hour 1: The golf swing

  1. The traditional swing approach that creates bogey golfers and unnecessarily stresses muscles and joints

  2. Why setup distance from the ball should be based on a golfer’s rotational movement skills as opposed the golf swing setup tradition that involves a one-size-fits-all approach

  3. How to learn to swing from the heels like the pros

 

Hour 2: Nutrition for musculoskeletal tissues

  1. Hypercaloric diets and joint, muscle, and tendon degeneration

  2. How the chemistry of obesity promote musculoskeletal degeneration

 

Hour 3: Markers to track to prevent musculoskeletal degeneration

  1. Laboratory markers such as glucose, HgbA1c, triglycerides, hsCRP, vitamin D, etc.

  2. Non-lab markers such as waist/hip ratio, waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure

 

Hour 4: Key nutritional supplements for musculoskeletal tissues

  1. Magnesium

  2. Fish oil

  3. Vitamin D
