Article Synopsis
- Research explores the biomechanical differences between full and partial golf swings, revealing that golfers modify their movements significantly when using less effort.
- In a study with 13 male golfers, key measurements showed substantial decreases in body motion and lateral shift during partial swings compared to full swings.
- Findings suggest that partial swings are not merely scaled-down versions of full swings, indicating the need for new coaching strategies in golf training.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored how carrying infants in different types of carriers affects the forces experienced on the ground during walking.
- Using a sample of 13 participants, researchers analyzed over-ground walking with varying loads (unloaded, semi-structured, and structured carriers) to observe changes in gait and posture.
- Results indicated that both the additional weight and the design of the carrier influence walking mechanics, suggesting that carrier structure should be a factor in caregiver recommendations.
