Abstract
Over recent years, there has been a growing body of evidence highlighting the significant benefits warming-up can have on physiological mechanisms, physical performance, impact factors and ball flight characteristics. In this chapter, the warm-up habits of highly skilled and elite players are compared to less skilled amateur golfers with discussion highlighting the barriers to engagement in a warm-up. This chapter also discusses the effects of dynamic and static stretching and the contrasting effects these modalities can have on impact factors and ball flight characteristic. It is proposed that a raise, activate, mobilise and potentiate (RAMP) warm-up protocol is followed where possible and that while there may be barriers to engaging in each phase, applied solutions are available. A number of practical recommendations are offered to the reader, which includes a warm-up template, a validation protocol to assess the effectiveness of a warm-up and numerous methods in which a strength and conditioning (S&C) coach or golf coach can facilitate engagements in a warm-up.
