New Research from IEEE TNSRE!

Discover how expert golfers refine coordinated muscle activation patterns -called muscle synergies - to achieve powerful, efficient golf swings.

This study shows that skilled performance doesn’t just come from stronger muscles, but from temporal precision in how muscle groups activate throughout the swing.

Insights like these deepen our understanding of neuromuscular control in complex, whole-body sports motions. 👇
