After an athletic event, the muscles continue to
produce metabolic byproducts that are acidic
in nature and aggravate sensory nerve endings
in muscle tissue. This serves to tighten the
muscle even more. To prevent unnecessary and
unwanted muscle soreness after golf, it is a
good idea to perform post event stretching. This
involves stretching all the major muscle groups
used in golf particularly the hips, lower back and
shoulder.
Post event stretching should not replace
developmental or maintenance stretching.
Stretching after golf is used to calm the nervous
system, restore circulation in golf specifi c
muscles and regain freedom of movement after
the game.
