Does Flexibility Correlate With Crunch Factor In Golf And Produce Faster Clubhead Speed?, Christopher Joyce

Christopher Joyce

Introduction: Crunch factor (CF) in golf is the product of lateral bending of the trailing side and axial rotation velocity. CF is maximised at ball impact (BI) and is thought to increase force behind the ball and increase clubhead speed. Investigations have reported dissimilar findings on CF and low back pain although, flexibility and CF have yet to be assessed. The first aim of this study was to see if flexibility (absolute range of motion – ROM) enabled golfers to maximise CF at BI for trunk and lower trunk segments. The second aim was to see if absolute ROM variables …

Anthropometric, Fitness And Coaches’ Perceptions Of Technical Skill Favour Early Maturing Adolescent Australian Footballers, Ashley Cripps, Luke Hopper, Christopher Joyce May 2015

Anthropometric, Fitness And Coaches’ Perceptions Of Technical Skill Favour Early Maturing Adolescent Australian Footballers, Ashley Cripps, Luke Hopper, Christopher Joyce

Christopher Joyce

During mid-adolescence, biological maturity can vary greatly between athletes of similar
chronological ages, resulting in early maturing athlete’s benefiting from greater anthropometric and
fitness characteristics, when compared to their late maturing counterparts. In Australian Football,
advantages associated with early maturation may also result in greater technical and perceived skill
efficiency. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of maturational status on
anthropometric and fitness testing, technical skill efficiency and coaches’ perceptions of skill in
talented adolescent Australian Footballers (n=225, age 15.64 ± 0.29 years). An estimation of years
from peak height velocity (Y-PHV) was used to class …
