AB  - Shaw, J, Gould, ZI, Oliver, JL, and Lloyd, RS. Twelve weeks of progressive 
      resistance training positively improves physical fitness and golf swing 
      performance in talented youth golfers. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 
      2024-This aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week 
      resistance training program in talented junior golfers. Eighteen talented youth 
      golfers were pair matched by maturity status and handicap, and subsequently 
      allocated to an experimental (EXP) or control group. During the 12-week 
      intervention, both groups continued with their normal golf practice while the EXP 
      group also completed a progressive twice-weekly resistance training program. At 
      baseline, subjects performed multiple trials of an isometric midthigh pull 
      (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, golf movement screen 
      (GMS), and isometric plank hold. Club head speed (CHS) and carry distance for a 
      6-iron and driver were also measured using a commercial launch monitor. When 
      controlled for maturity offset, there were significant (p < 0.05) interaction 
      effects in favor of the EXP group for absolute (g = 1.29) and relative (g = 2.06) 
      peak force for the IMTP, CMJ absolute (g = 0.73) and relative (g = 0.66) peak 
      power, jump height (g = 1.05), modified reactive strength index (g = 1.30), 
      lateral (g = 0.48-0.88) and horizontal jump distance (g = 1.20), and GMS total 
      score (g = 1.07). Significant interaction effects were also reported in 6-iron 
      and driver CHS and carry distance in favor of the EXP group (p < 0.05; g = 
      0.41-1.64). These findings indicate that twice-weekly resistance training in 
      combination with regular golf practice can stimulate increases in measures of 
      strength, power, and movement competency in youth golfers, which should 
      contribute to enhanced golf swing performance.
