Similarities in other Sports

The biomechanical factors like the 3 newtons laws, angular momentum, torque, kinetics, kinematics, impulse, force and velocity are not exclusively for golf but can be associated with multiple other sports. These biomechanics can be manipulated throughout different sports to achieve phenomenal outcomes in the forces exerted, efficiency displayed and technical gameplays. Comprehending and implementing these biomechanical insights into game scenarios can result in improved performance and lower risk of injury.

The foremost sport that is similar to golf is baseball, with main roles of pitching and batting exemplifying similar biomechanical traits as golf (Schulz & Curnow, 1988). The movements involved in these roles are similar to golf with the kinetics and kinematics beginning from the lower limb, then increasing through the trunk and exerting the force through the upper limb (Fortenbaugh et al., 2009). Therefore, the angular momentum, torque, velocity, and force that is manipulated in golf can be utilized in the same way in baseball to maximize the balls speed or distance (Fortenbaugh et al., 2009). Furthermore, adjusting certain joint angles or limb movements according to the biomechanical analysts can allow for a smooth and balanced movement that provides impactful results and a decreased risk of injury.

Another sport that involves the same kinetic chains, is tennis. The dynamic movements involved in tennis like serving and forehanding, is similar to the phases in golf like backswing, downswing and follow through (Schulz & Curnow, 1988). The athletes rely on the angular momentum and inertia to generate the force required from the racquet to hit the ball at the highest velocity possible (Martin, 2018). The torque power developed through the trunk, lower and upper limbs used in golf to increase the ball distance can also be used in tennis to increase the ball velocity. Also, the training and exercises that golf players perform to improve their ability and prevent injuries can also be used for tennis players (Martin, 2018). Common injuries in tennis like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) can be avoided by performing specific strength exercises similar that of golf’s exercises.

Another sport/activity that could benefit from golf biomechanical principles would be javelin throw or discus. In particular, it would be imperative for the kinetics and angular kinetics involved in these movements to be perfect as to not disturb the kinematics (Schulz & Curnow, 1988). The movements in these activities are sequential and if performed differently can result in injury or unsuccessful outcomes. During these activities the movements begin in the legs, then through the trunk and out from the arms, resulting in a kinetic chain reaction (Hamid et al., 2025). The overall goal of producing as much power as possible while maintaining proper mobility is similar in golf, javelin throw and discus. Therefore, the designed training program provided for the golfers would be useful for the javelin and discus throwers to maximize results whilst preserving energy.

Overall, the biomechanical properties that apply to golf can also be applied to many other sports/activities that also mainly focus on rotational movement and movement velocity. Focusing on empowering an athlete's speed, endurance, power, flexibility and strength with measures like kinetics, kinematics, torque, rotational force and moment of inertia will improve results and avoid injuries. In conclusion, biomechanical insights can provide analytical feedback that can improve an athlete's performance and health.
