Cardiovascular training can provide great improvements in golfers overall performance in many different ways. <\/span><\/p>\n With long distance cardiovascular training including running two to five miles, cycling, or swimming, an athlete is able to increase their aerobic capacity and VO2 max. VO2 max allows the athlete have a higher tolerance of oxygen intake while performing an activity. <\/span>When walking a golf course, a person with a higher aerobic capacity will have a much easier time getting through the course with a clear and level head, little or no fatigue, and able to consistently perform at the best level they can achieve. <\/span><\/p>\n However, long distance is not the only benefit of cardiovascular training. Short explosive types of cardiovascular training like sprints, vertical jumps, and even high interval training programs can also greatly benefit a golfer. Why? <\/strong><\/span>With this type of training, the golfer is focusing on creating power and speed. Done consistently, the body will adapt the golfer to increase power, speed, and stability in the golf swing. <\/span><\/p>\n This is critical for all golfers, especially juniors<\/a> because it allows them to build strength and muscle in their bodies while they are still developing. Short cardiovascular training is safe, effective, and challenging to help the athletes improve their own personal best each time.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
