Traditional strengthening
ACTIVE COMPARATORThese subjects performed traditional strengthening exercises of targeted muscle groups (For example, bench press, lat pulldowns, dead lifts and wrist curls)
Functional Strengthening
ACTIVE COMPARATORThese subjects performed exercises that either mimicked golf (diagonal chop) or that required balance and stability (single leg dead lift)
Interventions
dead lifts, bench press, wrist curls, and lat pulldowns as examples
diagonal chops, one leg deadlifts, lateral plyometrics as examples
