Ryder Cup Health & Fitness Screening Package Components: Sports Specific Medical Examination The day starts with an in depth assessment by a Sports Medicine Doctor who specialises in golfing injuries and performance. Having discussed an individuals medical history at length the Doctor will then perform an examination of the Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Neurological Systems. They will also conduct a full blood and urine screen to highlight how efficiently the body is working. Finally they may recommend any diagnostic investigations such as MRI or CT Scans (see below) deemed necessary. A Senior Physiotherapist and Health & Fitness Specialist will then conduct the following assessment components: Body Composition Measurements Measurements will be taken to record an individuals Body Composition such as: Body Fat %, Lean Muscle Mass, % Body Hydration, BMI, Calorific Recommendations.

Core Stability Testing Analysis of an individuals core stability (trunk muscle) function will enable a programme to be designed to harness the power of the legs and arms. Kinetic Chain Assessments Video Analysis of body movement patterns will ascertain where immobility, inflexibility, biomechanical or muscle imbalance anomalies are present.
Video Gait Analysis Gait patterns (walking and running) are examined on the treadmill to determine any biomechanical anomalies.
