Associations between flexibility, stretching habits, and spine injuries in professional golfers: a nationwide, cross-sectional study
This study found that a fair grade of flexibility in the shoulder reach test was associated with a significantly lower risk of T/L-spine injuries. Additionally, modifications in warming-up and swing motion after T/L-spine injuries were significantly associated with the performance of professional golfers.
