| Abstract/Contents: | "Over 350,000 preventable deaths occur each year due to a combination of poor nutrition and physical inactivity that contributes to diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and certain types of cancers. Golf can potentially serve as a component of a healthy lifestyle and may reduce the risks of many preventable diseases. The purpose of this case study was to determine the physiological demands of playing golf and the potential physical activity-related health benefits (based on the American College of Sports Medicine's recommendations) associated with walking whilst playing. One subject underwent metabolic testing while playing golf under three different conditions: walking while carrying bag, walking with caddy, and cart riding. A portable telemetric metabolic system integrated with a heart rate monitor were utilized to measure oxygen uptake, heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, and caloric expenditure. In addition, an integrated body monitoring system was used to capture total walking distance. Total distance walked and time to completion varied for the walk-carry (8.69 km, 2.88 hours), walk-caddy (7.89 km, 2.88 hours), and cart-riding (3.86 km, 3.37 hours) conditions and average heart rate was higher in the walk-carry condition (67.4% of max heart rate, 120 bpm) compared to the walk-caddy (61.8%, 100 bpm) and cart-riding (49.4%, 88 bpm) conditions. The breakdown of heart rate zones according to condition was as follows: walk-carry (<40% MHR- 9%, 40-50% MHR- 53%, 50-60% MHR- 34%, >60% MHR- 4%; walk-caddy: (<40% MHR- 31%, 40-50% MHR- 59%, 50-60% MHR- 9%, >60% MHR- 0%; cart: (<40% MHR- 9(%, 40- 50% MHR- 1%, 50-60% MHR- 0%, >60% MHR- 0%). The average V(dot)O2 was higher in the walk-carry condition (22.4 ml路kg路min-1) compared to the walk-caddy (18.3 ml路kg路min-1) and cart-riding (15.6 ml路kg路min-1) conditions with total caloric expenditure for the round of golf during the walk-carry (1954 kcal) condition was higher than either the walk-caddy (1527 kcal) or cart-riding (1303 kcal) conditions. Golf and walking may provide a more appealing alternative to individuals who do not participate in regular physical activity while inducing the recommended amount of physical activity that promotes a healthy lifestyle." |
