Golf and baseball are two different sports that have unique benefits on a physical, mental, and social level. Here's a comparison of their core benefits:
Low-intensity, full-body workouts
Walking 18 holes burns about 1,500 calories and improves cardiorespiratory endurance
The swing activates the core muscles (80% oblique abdominis is involved during rotation) and shoulder and back strength
Mental training ground
Wind speed and slope are calculated for each shot (20+ variables are considered by professional players) to develop strategic thinking
37% decrease in cortisol levels during restful strokes (stress hormone)
Social currency for business
75% of CEOs worldwide use golf as their primary means of socializing
4-5 hours of competition in the same group to create in-depth communication scenes
Explosive shaping
The pitching speed is 160 km/h, and the shoulder rotation angular velocity is 7000 degrees/s
The batter speed can reach 110mph at the moment of hitting the ball, improving the ability to react quickly
The art of team collaboration
The nine-man defensive system requires tactical coordination to be completed in 0.3 seconds
Statistics show that professional catchers deal with 200+ codes per game
Dynamic decision-making training
There are 6 variables (ball speed, defending position, etc.) that need to be judged within 3 seconds to run the bases.
On average, MLB players make offensive and defensive decisions every 0.4 seconds
People over 35 years old: Golf can continue to work up to the age of 80, and the joint impact is only 1/3 of that of running
Youth Development: Baseball training can improve hand-eye coordination by 40% and team awareness by 65%
Social attributes: 3-5 people in each round of golf, and 10-15 people in the baseball team
Both sports contain unique cultural symbols: golf is a 600-year-old gentleman's spirit, and baseball is a 150-year-old American national memory. When choosing, it is recommended to combine personal sports goals (health management/competitive pursuit) and social needs (business development/team integration).
