      producing capabilities during vertical jumps and an isometric mid-thigh pull.

AB  - Whilst previous research has highlighted significant relationships between 
      golfers' clubhead velocity (CHV) and their vertical jump height and maximum 
      strength, these field-based protocols were unable to measure the actual vertical 
      ground reaction force (vGRF) variables that may correlate to performance. The aim 
      of this study was to investigate relationships between isometric mid-thigh pull 
      (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ) and drop jump (DJ) vGRF 
      variables and CHV in highly skilled golfers. Twenty-seven male category 1 golfers 
      performed IMTP, CMJ, SJ and DJ on a dual force platform. The vertical jumps were 
      used to measure positive impulse during different stretch-shortening cycle 
      velocities, with the IMTP assessing peak force (PF) and rate of force development 
      (RFD). Clubhead velocity was measured using a TrackMan launch monitor at a golf 
      driving range. Pearsons correlation coefficient analyses revealed significant 
      relationships between peak CHV and CMJ positive impulse (r = 0.788, p < 0.001), 
      SJ positive impulse (r = 0.692; p < 0.001), DJ positive impulse (r = 0.561, 
      p < 0.01), PF (r = 0.482, p < 0.01), RFD from 0-150 ms (r = 0.343, p < 0.05) and 
      RFD from 0-200 ms (r = 0.398, p < 0.05). The findings from this investigation 
      indicate strong relationships between vertical ground reaction force variables 
      and clubhead velocity.
