RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Ulnar-sided wrist injuries are common in sports that require repeated pronosupination, wrist radial/ulnar deviation, axial loading, and gripping equipment. Common anatomic structures affected include the triangular fibrocartilage complex, extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, distal radioulnar and ulnocarpal joints, and hamate bone. Presenting symptoms include pain with activity, swelling, possible snapping or clicking, and reproduction of symptoms with provocative maneuvers. Imaging may confirm or rule out pathologies, but abnormal findings also may present in asymptomatic athletes. Initial treatment is usually nonoperative with splinting, load management, activity modification, strengthening the components of the kinetic chain of the particular sport, and pain management. Surgery is usually indicated in ulnar-wrist pain pathology such as hook of hamate fractures and required in associated instability. Future research should address specific treatment and rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing the complete kinetic chain along with the injured wrist.

INTRODUCTION: Despite its popularity, there have been no reports outlining adult craniofacial trauma in the setting of golf injuries. Our main objective was to identify and describe trends in head and neck injuries incurred while participating in golf including injury type, anatomic location, and patient disposition. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was conducted from 2009-2018. Population characteristics of golf-related injuries were recorded, including, age, sex, and race distributions. Distribution of injury anatomic location, injury type, distribution of fracture location, patient disposition was further analyzed. A one way ANOVA was utilized to obtain the mean ages for all injuries and compare them for any statistical difference. To identify statistical significance, a Fisher exact test with a Monte Carlo simulation was performed. RESULTS: A total of 509 golf-related injuries (national estimate 24,425 cases) were recorded over the study period. Lacerations were the most common injury overall (54.2%), while contusions and abrasions were the next most common injuries (27.3%). The most common fracture subtype observed was midface (40.43%), followed by nasal bone (27.66%), mandible (12.77%), skull (12.77%), and cervical spine (6.38%). The highest proportion of patients admitted for further treatment were individuals >70 years of age. Fractures had the highest rate of admission (29.8%). CONCLUSIONS: A better understanding of golf injuries can allow for rapid detection and appropriate treatment when encountered. This knowledge can also help to develop safety precautions by potentially reforming rules and regulations as well as protective equipment.

ABSTRACT Played all over the world, golf has gained popularity, for it is a sport that depends on individual abilities. For this reason the search for tools that aim to seek and guide its respective talented players has become very important. Therefore, this study had the objective of comparing the distribution of the dermatoglyphic indicators of high performance golfers and of a group control of non-athletes. The sample was composed of 46 individuals with paired age and gender, divided into two groups: the Group Golf (GG), composed of 23 golfers, and the Group Control (GC), composed of 23 individuals control randomly selected. The golfers, part of the Project Golf Brazil of the Brazilian Golf Confederation, were between 11 and 21 years old. The results demonstrated that the number of lines in the pattern was of six possible variables of fingerprint (MESQL1, MESQL2, MESQL4, MESQL5, SQTLE, SQTL) is significantly higher in the golfers (GG) when compared to the group control (GC). When observed the qualitative variables, i. e., the pattern type, significant diferences where observed between the groups, since the golfers (GG) presented more Radial Loops (RL) in MDT5 when compared to the group control (GC). The results found in this study demonstrated that the dermatoglyphic profile of high performance golfers differ from the non-athlete population.
RESUMO Jogado em todo o mundo, o golfe está ganhando popularidade, sendo um esporte que depende das habilidades individuais, tornando-se importante a busca por ferramentas que visem buscar e orientar seus respectivos talentos. O presente estudo teve por objetivo comparar a distribuição dos indicadores dermatoglíficos de golfistas de alto rendimento e de um grupo controle de não atletas. A amostra foi composta por 46 indivíduos com idade e sexo pareados, divididos em dois grupos: o Grupo Golf (GG), composto por 23 golfistas e o Grupo Controle (GC), composto por 23 indivíduos controle aleatoriamente selecionados. Os golfistas, parte do Projeto Golf Brasil da Confederação Brasileira de Golfe, tinham idade entre 11 e 21 anos. Os resultados demonstram que o número de linhas no padrão de seis possíveis variáveis de impressão digital (MESQL1, MESQL2, MESQL4, MESQL5, SQTLE, SQTL) é maior nos golfistas (GG) quando comparado ao grupo controle (GC). Quando observadas as variáveis qualitativas, ou seja, o tipo de figura, observaram-se diferenças significativas entre os grupos, visto que os Golfistas (GG) apresentaram maior quantidade de Presilha Radial (LR) no MDT5 quando comparados ao grupo controle (GC). Os resultados encontrados neste estudo demonstraram que o perfil dermatoglífico de golfistas de alto rendimento difere da população não atleta.

Recent research has revealed that having learners study and practice a motor skill with the expectation of having to teach it enhances motor learning. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unknown. We attempted to replicate this effect and elucidate the mechanisms underlying it. Thus, participants studied golf putting instructions and practiced putting either with the expectation of having to teach another participant how to putt or the expectation of being tested on their putting. During this acquisition phase, participants' motivation, anxiety, and information processing (the duration they took preparing each putt) were indexed as possible mechanisms underlying a motor learning effect. One day and seven days after the acquisition phase, learning was assessed by testing all participants on their golf putting. Results revealed that expecting to teach enhanced motor learning, replicating the original finding. Moreover, expecting to teach increased the duration participants took preparing each putt, which was correlated with superior motor learning. Thus, results suggest expecting to teach enhances motor learning by increasing information processing during practice.

Golf, a global sport enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, involves relatively long periods of low intensity exercise interspersed with short bursts of high intensity activity. To meet the physical demands of full swing shots and the mental and physical demands of putting and walking the course, it is frequently recommended that golfers undertake golf-specific exercise programs. Biomechanics, motor learning, and motor control research has increased the understanding of the physical requirements of the game, and using this knowledge, exercise programs aimed at improving golf performance have been developed. However, while it is generally accepted that an exercise program can improve a golfer's physical measurements and some golf performance variables, translating the findings from research into clinical practice to optimise an individual golfer's performance remains challenging. This paper discusses how biomechanical and motor control research has informed current practice and discusses how emerging sophisticated tools and research designs may better assist golfers improve their performance.

Nesse estudo não adotamos a compreensão de que, no continente africano, práticas tradicionais são necessariamente manifestações tribais ou que antecedem a chegada do colonizador. Consideramos que, em muitos casos, a ideia de tradição está mesmo relacionada à construção de representações mobilizadas em processos de consolidação de identidades nacionais. Partindo dessa consideração, o objetivo desse artigo é discutir como uma modalidade esportiva, o golfe, foi apreendida como uma tradição no processo de construção identitária de um país africano, Cabo Verde, arquipélago localizado na costa oeste da África, colônia de Portugal até1975.
In this study we did not adopt the understanding that, in Africa, traditional practices are necessarily manifestations "tribal" or prior to the arrival of the colonizer. We believe that in many cases, the idea is that related to traditional building representationsconsolidation processes deployed in national identity. Based on this consideration, the aim of this paper is to discuss how a sport, golf has been perceived as a tradition in the process of identity construction of an African country, Cape Verde, an archipelago located on the west coast of Africa, a colony of Portugal until 1975.

Em Cabo Verde, podemos identificar que precocemente se estabeleceram as bases da organização do campo esportivo: foi significativo o número de agremiações fundadas entre o quartel final do século XIX e as décadas iniciais do século XX. Partindo do princípio de que a experiência do arquipélago constitui-se em tema interessante para refletir sobre a difusão do esporte pelo mundo, esse artigo tem por objetivo discutir a conformação do campo esportivo em Cabo Verde, especificamente do cricket e do golfe, relacionando-os tanto à influência estrangeira/britânica quanto a movimentos identitários locais.
In Cape Verde, we can identify early the organization of the sports field: there was a significant number of associations founded between the end of 19th century and 20th century beginning. Assuming that the experience of the archipelago is an interesting topic to think about spreading the sport around the world, this article aims to discuss the conformation of the sports field in Cape Verde, especially cricket and golf, relating it both to foreign/British influence as the local identity movements.

A estruturação da prática motora é uma variável de aprendizagem muito estudada na área de Controle Motor e Aprendizagem, sendo, neste âmbito, o efeito de Interferência Contextual um dos pressupostos teóricos mais investigados (TANI, 2005). Tendo como suporte a hipótese de PORTER e MAGILL (2004, 2005), o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se o grupo com prática num contínuo de níveis Interferência Contextual alcançava melhores resultados na aprendizagem do "putt", do golfe, comparativamente com os grupos de prática por blocos, em séries e aleatória. Participaram voluntariamente 48 estudantes (24 de cada gênero) do ensino superior com 21,2 ± 1,4 anos de idade, todos destros e inexperientes. Na fase de aquisição foram realizados 126 ensaios de "putt" às distâncias de 2, 2,75 e 3,5 metros do buraco. Vinte e quatro horas depois ocorreu a fase de retenção e o teste de tranferência. Na fase de retenção foram praticados 30 ensaios de forma aleatória. O teste de tranferência consistiu em 20 ensaios, 10 ensaios a 2,5 metros e 10 ensaios a 2,5 metros com 10 graus de desvio face ao centro do buraco. A análise dos resultados demonstra que não existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre grupos. O efeito do incremento de Interferência Contextual não foi verificado neste estudo.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contextual interference (CI) effect on learning a golf putting task. PORTER and MAGILL (2004, 2005) conducted studies where they applied a new concept of practice: the contextual interference continuum. The hypothesis is that practicing with gradual increases of CI will lead to better performance on retention and transfer tests that both the blocked and random groups. Forty undergraduate students (N = 48) were randomly assigned to one of four groups: blocked, serial, random, or increasing CI practice schedule. Participants were inexperienced with the task and were blinded to the purpose of the experiment. During the acquisition they putted 126 trails from three distances (2, 2.75 and 3.5 meters) for the same golf hole target. In retention test they performed 30 trials in a random order. In the transfer test the subjects performed 20 trials: 10 at 2.5 meters and 10 to 2.5 meters with 10 degrees of deviation from the starting point towards the hole. The apparatus of this study consisted of one artificial putting indoor golf carpet. All participants putt the same golf ball with the same right-handed putter. The data of retention and transfer tests were analyzed using separate one-way ANOVAs. Although it is observed in the absolute error a trend of superiority of performance of the group or increasing CI practice schedule on transfer test, the analysis didn't reveal a significant main effect for practice conditions. The effect of increasing CI was not found in this experiment.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram comparar o nível de atividade física habitual (AFH) por meio do número de passos.dia-1 e os parâmetros da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) de repouso em nipo-brasileiros praticantes (GPG) e não praticantes (GNP) de Park Golf e verificar as correlações entre o nível de AFH e a VFC. Trinta e três indivíduos de ambos os gêneros (68,2±6,3 anos) fizeram parte do estudo, sendo 20 sujeitos no GPG (68,3±6,3 anos) e 13 no GNP (68,2±6,4 anos). Os sujeitos utilizaram o pedômetro por uma semana para mensurar a AFH. A VFC foi analisada batimento-a-batimento no repouso em decúbito dorsal por meio de um cardiofrequencímetro. Durante a avaliação da VFC, houve controle da frequência respiratória em 12 respirações por minuto. A AFH foi maior no GPG quando comparado ao GNP. Não foram observadas diferenças nos indicadores da VFC entre os grupos. Em relação aos gêneros, as mulheres apresentaram maiores médias de passos.dia-1 e valores de índices parassimpáticos pela VFC. Os homens obtiveram maiores índices simpáticos. O nível de AFH apresentou correlação significante com o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e com a média dos intervalos R-R. O maior nível de AFH encontrado no GPG não foi suficiente para promover VFC de repouso mais favorável em relação ao GNP.
The aims of this study were to compare the habitual physical activity (HPA) level by means of steps.day-1 and the resting heart rate variability (HRV) parameters of nipo-brazilians practitioners (GPG) and non-practitioners (GNP) of Park Golf and verify the correlations between HPA and HRV. Thirty three subjects of both genders (68.2±6.3 years) participated of this study, being 20 subjects in GPG (68.3±6.3 years) and 13 in GNP (68.2±6.4 years). The subjects wore the pedometer for one week to measure the HPA. The HRV was analyzed beat-to-beat at rest in the supine position using a heart rate monitor and the respiratory frequency was controlled in 12 respiratory cycles per minute. The HPA level was higher in GPG when compared to GNP. There were no differences in the HRV between groups. Regarding gender, women presented higher mean steps.day-1 and parasympathetic indices of HRV. Men presented higher sympathetic indices. The HPA level was significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI) and with the mean R-R intervals. The greater HPA level reported in GPG was not sufficient to induce a more favorable resting HRV than in GNP.

Objetivo: Describir los tipos de lesiones cutáneas que presentan los caddies de golf y de tenis en el Club el Campestre en sus sedes de Medellín y Llanogrande y comparar la frecuencia y severidad de las mismas entre ambas poblaciones. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional de corte analítico a partir de dos grupos poblacionales laboralmente expuestos. El estudio se realizó con 164 personas de sexo masculino laboralmente expuestos a luz solar, en los grupos de caddies de golf y tenis en la ciudad de Medellín y el municipio de Rionegro, a quienes se les aplicó la evaluación de tiempo - respuesta y se subdividieron de acuerdo a su localización geográfica. Resultados: Se encontró un total de 243 lesiones, de las cuales el mayor porcentaje fueron de tipo acneiforme, seguido de las solares, y posiblemente asociadas a la edad de la población de estudio. Conclusión: Debido a que la población en estudio está laboralmente expuesta a la luz solar por largos periodos de tiempo, se encontró una exacerbación de las lesiones acneiformes propias de la etapa de la adolescencia y, en segunda instancia, lesiones solares que reflejan un daño actínico prematuro, como resultado de la exposición continúa a la luz solar, el inadecuado uso de bloqueador solar y la falta de medios físicos de protección, lo cual hace necesario implementar medidas preventivas para evitar el desarrollo de futuras lesiones cancerosas.
Introduction: When sun exposure is chronic it produces actinic damage of the skin that predisposes to melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and other skin lesions considered pre-malign. This study searchs for the association between time and exposure and the skin lesions present in a group of golf and tennis caddies from a private club in Medellin and Rionegro cities. Methods: It was made an observational study in two groups who have had chronic excessive exposure to UV light due to their work. In the study an evaluation of time/response variable had place and a subdivision according to the geographical location was done. The study was done in 164 male patients, chronically exposed to sun light, among groups of golf and tennis caddies in Medellin City and Rionegro. Results: It was found a total of 243 skin lesions of which the highest percentage where acneiform or acne-like eruptions followed by sun lesions lesions. It was found a predominance of acneiform eruptions in patients who used sunscreen within creased frequency. Conclusion: It was found an exacerbation of acneiform eruptions, lesions that are characteristic of the adolescence period. On the other hand sun lesions proof premature actinically damaged skin as a result of the continuous sun exposure, inadequate sunscreen use and the lack of physical protection methods. The latter shows the need to establish or improve preventive steps to avoid further progression of this kind of lesions that can potentiate the development of pre-cancers and skin cancers.

As fraturas de stress do gancho do hamato estão geralmente associadas com atividades esportivas que utilizam tacos, raquetes e bastões. Devido à ausência de um trauma óbvio, o diagnóstico exige maior conhecimento desta lesão e alto índice de suspeição. Os autores relatam o caso de um jogador de golfe com fratura de stress do gancho do hamato, com diagnóstico e acompanhamento realizados por ressonância magnética e tomografia computadorizada multislice.
Stress fractures of the hook of the hamate are related to sports that use devices such as golf clubs, rackets and baseball bats. Because usually there is no history of obvious trauma, the diagnosis necessitates better knowledge of the lesion and high index of suspicion. The authors report a case of stress fracture of the hook of the hamate in a golf player with diagnosis and follow-updone with magnetic resonance and multislice computer tomography.

Tibialis anterior tenosynovitis is a rare orthopaedic condition that usually resolves with conservative treatment. Surgery may be required for chronic cases and endoscopy seems to be a valid therapeutic alternative. During debridement of the hypertrophic synovium, care must be taken to avoid damaging the extensor retinaculum to prevent potential postoperative bowstring phenomenon of the tendon.

In any consideration of cultural diffusion, what matters is not only what happens to a cultural form when it arrives, but that it arrives. In the twentieth century, Latin America, like too many other areas of the world, has been a place of diplomatic turmoil, social inequality, political paranoia, capitalist exploitation and class conflict. However, despite all this, and through all this, it may be stated factually and without sentimentality, that it has also been a place where people have survived and thrived, worked, loved and played. Modern sport has brought to their play both unhappy moments of disillusion and disappointment and marvellous opportunities for illusion and pleasure. Modern sport, with its beauty spots and warts, is the reality and while there are things to criticize, there are also many things to applaud. Along with others, the English middle class played a not insignificant part in the arrival of modern sport in Latin America.
