The purpose of this study was conducted to enhance the performance and prevent injuries in golf by comparing the activation of lower limb muscle according to whether wear the golf shoes or not during iron swing. 9 participants who are lower than handicap of 5 were selected for this study, and the results are as follow. Right side of rectus femoris, bicep femoris and tibialis anterior did not show the differences in significance level about the activation of muscle during iron golf swing whether the subjects wear the golf shoes or normal shoes. However, with the result of right side of gastrocnemius, the average score showed significant differences whether participants wear the golf shoes or normal shoes(P<.03). Left side of rectus femoris, bicep femoris, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius did not showed any significant differences whether subjects wear the golf shoes or normal shoes. Thus, wearing golf shoes increase the torque of feet and quicken the movement for center of body. It also helps to transfer more power at impact during golf swing with small power rather than normal shoes. So, the results can be seen that golf shoes have more stability.
