Golf is an old game originated from medieval Scotland. Since 2016, this sport has been included in the program of the Summer Olympic Games, and now the players must be insured to participate in competitions. Despite the apparent safety of this sport, there are specific injuries which golfers often pick up. That’s why golf insurance has the same significance as for any other sports.
The most common injuries in golf
Medical tests have shown that golfers often face spinal injuries. When performing a swing, the back muscles are most overloaded, and one awkward movement can cause sprains or intervertebral hernia. This is the reason why sport insurance for this game is a must. Golfer also can face the following injuries:
- Shoulder joint injuries.
- Elbow joint injuries.
- Wrist sprain and dislocation.
According to doctors, these injuries are cause by the lack of physical training of the player. This kind of sports requires the player to be physically strong, enduring and flexible. Injuries can also be caused by muscle fatigue. Monotonous head movements often lead to chronic occupational injuries that require qualified treatment. In this case, the cause is improper work and rest mode.
