Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 360° titanium core strength exercises ® on novice swing speed. All participants completed before and after use of the PRGR device.Statistical analysis using independent sample t-Tests demonstrated significant effects, with the intervention group showing significantly higher Swing Speed in the post-test compared to the COG (IG post-test: M=78.65, SD=16.37; COG post-test: M=64.00, SD=19.77; t(38) = 4.504, p < 0.05). There was a significant in Swing Speed between pre (M=60.20, SD=9.87) and post (M=78.65, SD=16.37) in the IG (t(19) = -7.074, p < 0.05). In contrast, the COG did not show significant differences in Swing Speed (pre:M=43.00, SD=13.10;post: M=46.55, SD=9.29; t(19) = -1.976, p > 0.05).
