Effects of nine weeks isokinetic training on power, golf kinematics, and driver performance in pre-elite golfers.

Background: It has previously been shown that isotonic strength training can improve driver performance among golfers, though few studies have investigated effects of strength training on swing kinematics together with driver performance. In this study we investigated whether isokinetic rotational training could improve driver performance and swing kinematic variables amongst elite golfers.

Methods: Twenty competitive pre-elite golfers (handicap better than -3.
