Abstract

Background: Physical training is widely used in golf to improve club head speed (CHS) and distance-related outcomes, but intervention evidence across key shot-performance outcomes has not been synthesized with separate treatment of controlled and single-group designs.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of physical training interventions on CHS, ball speed, carry distance, and total distance in golfers.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was reported in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 statement. PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar were searched on 3 March 2026. Eligible studies included golfers of any sex, age, or playing level; evaluated a physical training intervention lasting at least four weeks; used either a controlled between-group or single-group pre–post design; and reported golf shot-performance outcomes. Random-effects meta-analyses synthesized absolute effects in common units, with controlled and single-group evidence analyzed separately.
Results: Thirty-three studies comprising 798 participants met the eligibility criteria, including 26 controlled between-group studies and 7 single-group pre–post studies. Controlled meta-analyses showed significant pooled improvements in CHS, ball speed, carry distance, and total distance: 1.05 m/s (95% CI 0.39 to 1.71), 2.20 m/s (95% CI 1.16 to 3.23), 9.33 m (95% CI 5.12 to 13.55), and 10.55 m (95% CI 6.30 to 14.81), respectively. The corresponding pooled standardized effects ranged from g = 0.38 to 0.62. Single-group meta-analyses showed significant pooled improvements in CHS, ball speed, and carry distance, but not in total distance in the primary analysis. The certainty of evidence was low for all controlled outcomes and very low for all single-group outcomes.
Conclusions: Physical training interventions can improve key golf shot-performance outcomes in golfers, with controlled between-group studies providing the most robust evidence. Structured physical training therefore appears to represent a meaningful component of golf performance preparation. Nonetheless, more comprehensively reported and population-specific intervention studies are needed.
