Further, leg power, upper body strength, and arm strength have positively correlated with golf performance measures; most notably measures of distance and total score (3). The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a 10-week strength and power training program on the biomechanics of the golf swing and golf performance.\n\nParticipants will have anthropometric data taken, including height, weight, and body composition.\n\nGolf swing biomechanics will be assessed utilizing high-speed motion analysis cameras and software available in the Motion Analysis Laboratory in the McLean Health Sciences Building. The participant will don garments that fit snug to the skin and light-sensitive reflective markers will be placed on the subject. The motion of the swing will be captured utilizing the 14 camera Vicon Bonita 10 system with the Motion Monitor real-time Vicon plug-in. Club head speed will be assessed utilizing a Tracman 4 dual radar tracking system.\n\nPower output for participants will be measured by performing a countermovement vertical jump and a static vertical jump on the 4 Bertec non-conductive forceplate system.\n\nStrength assessments will be performed in the Nimocks Fitness Center by the Lead Investigator. Maximal strength will be assessed in the following lifts utilizing the parameters described by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (4): Back Squat; Flat Bench Press. Other maximal strength numbers for primary lifts involved in the program (Front Squat; Incline Bench; Power Cleans) will be prescribed as percentages of the tested lifts as follows: Maximal Front Squat = 80% of Maximal Back Squat; Maximal Incline Bench = 80% of Maximal Flat Bench; Maximal Power Clean = 70% of Maximal Back Squat.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria: college aged golfers with no contraindications to exercise as measured by PAR-Q+\n\n* No history of Heart condition or uncontrolled hypertension\n* No history of chest pain at rest or with exertion\n* No history of loss of balance or dizziness at rest or with exercise in previous 12 months\n* No medications for chronic medical conditions\n* No bone, joint, or soft tissue issue that could be made worse by becoming more physically active\n\nExclusion Criteria: As indicated by PAR-Q+\n\n* History of arthritis, osteoporosis, or chronic back issues\n* Current, or recent history of, cancer\n* Diagnosed cardiovascular disease: CAD, heart failure, diagnosed abnormality of heart rhythm\n* Uncontrolled high blood pressure (resting blood pressure of 160/90 or greater)\n* Diagnosed Metabolic Condition: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, Pre-diabetic'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04004468', 'briefTitle': 'Impact of Strength and Power Training on Golf Performance and Swing Biomechanics', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Methodist University, North Carolina'}, 'officialTitle': 'Impact of Strength and Power Training on Golf Performance and Swing Biomechanics', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Project 2018 - 19 0027'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Standard Periodization Training', 'description': 'Utilization of traditional periodization strength training model', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Resistance Training']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Conjugate Training', 'description': 'Utilization of conjugate strength model', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Resistance Training']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Resistance Training', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Standard barbell resistance training programs', 'armGroupLabels': ['Conjugate Training', 'Standard Periodization Training']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '28311', 'city': 'Fayetteville', 'state': 'North Carolina', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Methodist University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 35.05266, 'lon': -78.87836}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Blake Justice', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Methodist University'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Methodist University, North Carolina', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
