Golf is not a relaxing sport as people think. In fact, it can exercise to every muscle of the whole body, and you will sweat after a game. However, Mao Runkun, head coach of Star Golf Club, said that golf is more suitable for people than intense and impactful sports in the gym. Usually, golf is a sport suitable for people of all sexes, ages, postures and physical conditions, and can be played for life from the age of 3 to 80. Golf can also play different roles according to different people.

Middle-aged men: improving "sexual interest"

It is worth mentioning that experts point out that golf, as a relatively mild sport, is more suitable for middle-aged men. It is helpful to improve men's sexual interest and quality of sexual life. Because in the process of playing golf, people can release a pleasant endorphin substance, thus increasing sexual desire, and the main sports parts of golf: waist, back and arms are the main focus of men in the process of sex, and the exercise of waist and abdomen can increase the whole body blood flow including pelvic parts and sexual organs. At the same time, Dr. Yang reminded that it is necessary to grasp the degree of golf. When you feel very tired, you should stop immediately and never try to be brave. Excessive exercise can also lead to decreased sexual desire.

Children: improve memory

Now many parents take their children to practice on the golf course in the suburbs on weekends. It is very helpful for children to let their brains breathe fully on the court to improve their memory. At the same time, the golf course is an elegant and high-end sports venue, and parents will not worry about their children making bad friends on the golf course.

Women: slimming and shaping

For women who love beauty, golf is a powerful weapon to beat waist and belly fat, especially for beginners who are overweight. Through the analysis of golf action, we can find that the golf hitting action is a whole-body exercise, which drives the upper limbs to hit the ball through the waist strength, and it is a complete action with coordination, strength and explosiveness. Regular practice can not only increase the strength of the waist and abdomen, increase the waist muscles and abdominal muscles, but also eliminate fat. Use it in sports.

The strength of the upper limbs will also achieve the effect of exercising the chest muscles and muscles of all parts of the upper limbs. Some elderly practitioners have a bad waist, and it is easy to bend over after sitting at a desk for a long time. Practicing golf can also nourish the lumbar spine and prevent lumbar disc herniation.

Sunny winter is very suitable for playing golf, which can relieve the dull mood in winter, but extra protective measures are needed, otherwise accidents such as physical strain and club damage will easily occur.

In the cold north, the first thing practitioners should do is to keep warm: choose a warm, windproof, waterproof and lightweight coat. Generally, venues are relatively empty, especially windproof and cold-proof coats are needed to keep warm. At the same time, the cotton golf T-shirt worn as underwear should also have good sweat conduction function. Of course, you also need a thin scarf, a wool hat and a pair of thick gloves. Without temperature, you can't just be elegant.

The second is to do warm-up exercises. When the body starts to exercise in winter, it is easy to get hurt, such as strain and sprain. It is necessary to make adequate warm-up preparations such as stretching, running and jumping in place, and rushing. The preparation time is longer than other seasons, and the action range should be increased. The recommended warm-up time is about 15 minutes. In addition, winter is the season most likely to damage the club, and the club head often breaks and flies out. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the maintenance of clubs, and try not to practice splitting on the edge of the green or in the bunker. Do a good job of cleaning after playing the ball.

Diet Tips: Eat less meat and more vegetables, and have a balanced nutrition.

Golf is good for your health and cannot be separated from a reasonable diet. Wu recommended the following foods: unsaturated fat and protein easily absorbed by human body, such as olive oil, lean beef, pork, chicken, fish, turkey, nuts and eggs, which are helpful to generate energy, replenish and repair cells. Vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and carbohydrates that provide sufficient energy, such as carrots, pumpkins, apples, bananas and staple foods. At the same time, it is also necessary to replenish water. When you exercise for more than an hour, you need to drink a proper amount of sports drinks or light salt water, and take in the sodium and potassium components in the drinks to help the human body restore its balance.

It is worth emphasizing that practitioners who are used to playing in the morning must skip breakfast and play on an empty stomach. In short, it is necessary to develop good eating habits, eat less meat and more vegetables, have balanced nutrition, eat less and eat more meals, eat regularly and persevere.

Besides, Wu also reminded some basic points of playing golf:

Hold the lever evenly with both hands. If you swing the lever with only one hand, the muscle exercise around the spine will be unbalanced, which is not conducive to maintaining the health of the neck and back.

Don't hold the rod too tightly, or the related muscles will be tired easily. Proper grip strength can speed up the club head and reduce the waste of physical strength. Don't gulp down cold drinks when you are thirsty. Drink warm water gently after stopping exercise.

Don't stop to have a rest after playing the ball. When the exercise stops immediately, the muscles will feel nervous and painful. At this time, in order to speed up the recovery of body function, you should take a walk for about 5 minutes to relieve neuromuscular tension, relax joints and massage muscles.

Don't take a cold bath immediately, especially for people with poor cardiovascular function. Diabetic patients, it is best not to play golf alone. When playing golf, you should have common foods that are easy to absorb to prevent hypoglycemia.
