Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in functional physical characteristics dependent on golf performance and age. [Subjects and Methods] Forty-six golfers participated in this study. The subjects were assigned to four groups depending on their golf performance and age. The physical characteristics of the subjects were assessed using the index developed by the authors based on functional movement screen (FMS). [Results] The results show that the group of young males with a low handicap had a significantly higher FMS score than the other groups. However, no significant differences were found in the total scores among the other groups. [Conclusion] The results indicate that young males with low handicaps possess superior physical characteristics for golf play.
