Scientific Problems of Modern Golf
Golf is an Olympic sport. In Europe, America, Australia, Japan and other countries, golf is very popular, has a good theoretical and methodological basis for training golfers of different levels of sportsmanship. The article is devoted to the study and analytical understanding of foreign research in the field of golf. The purpose of the study is to identify the main components that determine the effectiveness of a golfer's motor actions in swing. The study of theoretical and methodological sources on the problem of sportsmanship in golf was conducted in the databases: eLIBRARY.RU, RSCI, PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, ResearchGate and Scopus. In total, more than 100 foreign sources were worked out. Scientific data indicate that golf swing is a complex coordination motor action and cannot be absolutely identical, both in relation to individual physical characteristics and to the level of sportsmanship. Professional golfers use diferent variants of motor actions that lead to the desired result. The individual variability of the movement of the kinematic chain manifests itself within the average of the individual swing model, which indicates unique solutions to the motor task, based on personal anthropometric characteristics, physical qualities and other limiting conditions. It is obvious that motor variability in golf is and, of course, will remain one of the priority areas of further research. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects touched upon in this article, which are insufficiently studied in the domestic scientific golf environment.
