Individual perception and performance changes during 3 week intervention programme with beginners golfers
Patzeltová, Michaela ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Carboch, Jan (referee)
Title: Individual perception and performance changes during 3 week intervention programme with beginners golfers Objectives The study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 3 week coaching program on golf skills (full swing and putting) and the perception of golf motor skills. It also sought to monitor participants' perceived difficulty and commitment levels using training diaries and investigate their subjective goal-setting and strategies for achieving them. Methods The study involved 43 participants who were divided into four groups, three of which had 11 participants and one with 10 participants. The participants were engaged in this project for 5 weeks in total. There was an MSRS questionnaire one week before the pre-test, then 3 weeks of intervention, post-test and again MSRS after one week after the tournament. Participants completed a reflective post-block diary after every week. The training diaries were used to identify players understanding of general golf instruction and the perception of golf motor skills. Results According to the quantitative results of this study, there was a significant difference in MSRS between pre-and and post-test. There was also a significant difference in perceived difficulty, however, no significant difference was found over the weeks in mental effort. There was a...

The differences in the level and variability of impact factors between golfers of different performance
Kotrba, Milan ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Carboch, Jan (referee)
Title: Differences in the level and variability of impact factors in golfers of different performance Aim: The aim of the diploma thesis is to clarify what are the differences in the level and variability of impact factors in golfers of different performance. Methods: The research group consisted of a total of 28 right-handed golfers divided into 3 performance categories. Professional players included all those with PRO status (Age = 28.5 ± 4.33 years, Height = 183.25 ± 4.76 cm, Weight = 85.46 ± 9.92 kg), Among Elite Amateur players with better hcp than 4.2 (Age = 22.67 ±1.63 years, Height = 186.33 ± 7.12 cm, Weight = 81.84 ± 10.04 kg, HCP = 0.47 ± 2.34) and among Amateur players all with hcp 4.3 or worse (Age = 35 ± 9.03 years, Height = 182.78 ± 6.58 cm, Weight = 84.11 ± 12.14 kg, HCP = 7.71 ± 2.57). Probands played a total of 20 strokes with 4 clubs (PW, 8 iron, 5 iron, Driver) after 5 strokes with a full swing to the finish line. In our test, the level and variability of impact parameters were evaluated. The difference between the performance groups was evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test at the level of statistical significance alpha <0.05 in the R v3.5.2 program (Vienna, Austria). Results: When evaluating differences between performance groups, we found significant differences in the level...

Golf swing in subjects with amputation of lower extremity
Richtrová, Michaela ; Otáhal, Jakub (advisor) ; Šifta, Petr (referee)
Author: Bc. Michaela Richtrová Tittle: Golf swing in subjects with amputation of lower extremity Objectives: The study aims at evaluation of the technique of golf swing used by patients with a different type and level of lower extremity amputation as compared to able-bodied golfers. Another objective is determination of the relation between individual phases of the golf swing and weight transfer, using different golf clubs, as compared to able-bodied golfers. Method: By its topic the work is a pilot study. The research has been divided into three descriptive case studies. The experimental group included two amateur golfers and one professional golfer. The control group was represented by an able-bodied golfer. Evaluation of kinematic parameters (trajectory of shoulders, hips, knee joints) was based on the Qualysis Motion Capture System. Evaluation of dynamic parameters (weight transfer) in the course of golf swing was made using two dynamometric Kistler platforms. Results: The measuring has demonstrated that in terms of both kinematics and dynamics, the mode of movement of a patient with a trans-tibial amputation during a golf swing corresponds to that of an able-bodied golfer. The same results were achieved by the patient also with the use of another type of golf club. A change, both in terms of...

Ball flight control with wedges in amateur golf players
Kotrba, Milan ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Šťastný, Petr (referee)
Title Ball flight control with wedges in amateur golf players Objectives The aim of the study was to determine level of ball's flight distance control and its relaitionship to the current and long-term performance of the elite amateur golfers. Methods The research sample was consisted of 10 selected right-handed golfers of the elite amateur level (age = 22 ± 3 years, height 186 ± 13 cm, weight 81 ± 20.5 kg, HCP 1,2 ± 3,4). Probands task was to hit 15 strokes. At each of the tested distances (45 m, 55 m, 65 m, 75 m and 85 m) the player played three strokes. The TrackMan 4 3D Doppler Radar (TrackMan, Denmark) was used to determine tested parameters. The results were recorded in individual protocols and then processed in Microsoft Excel, which was also used to obtain basic statistics: mean, standard deviation, variation range, and percentage deviation from the target. Percentage deviation from target was calculated as a percentage of total deviation from target distance. We used program R v3.5.2 (Vienna, Austria) for statistical evaluation of the relationship between ball distance control and performance. The relationship between the parameters was evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results In the research it was found that players with lower handicap are mainly achieving better...

Analysis of muscle shortening and range of upper body movement and their relation to selected golf swing parameters in junior age players
Kosina, Jan ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hráský, Pavel (referee)
Title: Muscle tightness and range of motion analysis of selected upper body segments an its connection to selected parametres of experienced junior golf players swing. Objectives: The aim of this work is to assess muscle tightness, range of motion and golf swing kinematics of experienced junior golf players and to evaluate possible connections between muscle tightness, range of movement and golf swing kinematics Methods: Golf swing kinematics was observed by kinematic analyzer CODA Motion System. Selected parametres of golf swing were: shoulder rotation; pelvis rotation; X - factor; angle between shoulders and left arm. Parametres were measured in key moments of a goflf swing: end of backswing; impakt. Muscle tightness was measured by clinical test of muscle tightness according to Janda for selected muscles: m. triceps surae; m. iliopsoas; m. rectus femoris; m. tensor fascies latae; knee flexors; hip adductors; m. piriformis; m. quadratus lumborum; paravertebral muscles; m. pectoralis major; m. trapezius - upper part; m. levator scapulae and m. sternocleidomastoideus. Clinical test of range of motion according to Janda and standart two - arm goniometer was used for range of motion evaluation of selected body segments: hip joint - internal and external rotatio, flexion, extension; shoulder joint -...

Intra-individual stability of performance and level of kinesthetic-differentiation ability in wedge play in golf players of varying performance level
Novák, Petr ; Gryc, Tomáš (advisor) ; Carboch, Jan (referee)
Title: Intraindividual stability of performance and kinestetic abilities level in wedge play performed on golf players with different performance level Goal: Goal of this thesis is detect an intraindividual stability of full swing performance in wedge play and find out kinestetic abilities level of golf players with different performance level when they control distance of ball flight, club head speed and ball speed. Methods: There were 15 golfers participating in this study (n = 15). Tested subjects are characteristic by these values: age 18,36 ± 2,61, body height 180,86 ± 7,38, body weight 73,21 ± 10,25, HCP HCP -0,47 ± 1,53. Intraindividual stability of performance and kinestetic abilities level was tested by instrument TrackMan. Gained values were processed by statistical methods in Excel. Pearson coeficient was used to find out the dependence between data. Results: We found high level of intraindividual stability from test results. Significant difference was found between in distance, club head speed and ball speed parameters with and without feedback. Significant connetion between intaindividual stability and performance parameters was found only in 1/3 of cases, same as connection between kinethetic ability and performance parameters. Key words: Short game, golf swing, approach shots, abilities
