Vinmec Health System has just signed a cooperation agreement with the Vietnam Golf Association (VGA) and Prof. Dr. Young-Hoo Kwon – the “father” of the Biomechanics method in Golf, to put into operation the Program. Completely new In-Depth Movement Analysis program exclusively for Golf players in Vietnam. The groundbreaking method helps golfers quickly identify limitations, thereby improving the quality of their shots and enhancing their performance.
Vinmec Healthcare System signed a cooperation agreement with the Vietnam Golf Association (VGA) with the expectation of “Elevating Vietnamese Golf”.
The program was built by Vinmec with the main foundation of Biomechanics in Golf, a method that is being widely applied in developed golf communities around the world. Using modern machinery, this method will help golfers record extremely delicate movements of the body, club and golf ball. With parameters on angle, force and moment at positions as well as measured images, players will be thoroughly analyzed by Vinmec experts to find the cause of errors and principles for operation. optimal swing (the most basic technique of swinging and hitting the ball). Thanks to “reprogramming” with accurate and detailed “operating code”, Golfers will quickly improve the quality of their shots.
A completely new in-depth Movement Analysis program exclusively for Golf athletes at Vinmec applies advanced Biomechanics methods.
“Thanks to Vinmec’s top equipment, Vietnamese golfers can play golf scientifically and accurately and thoroughly apply biomechanical methods in competition,” assessed Prof. Dr. Young-Hoo Kwon, At the same time, he said he was really surprised by the investment in technology in sports in Vietnam during his recent working trip at Vinmec.
Also in the cooperation program, Vinmec also commits to support and provide comprehensive medical care services for athletes and the National Golf Team coaching staff at hospitals and clinics within the Health System. Vinmec nationwide in stages; Medical support or other forms of sponsorship for professional and amateur tournaments and sideline activities of the Golf community organized by VGA.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Binh, Director of Vinmec Health System Business Division, said: “Cooperating with the Vietnam Golf Association is part of Vinmec’s key program to develop preventive medicine and sports medicine. With support from Vingroup, we always strive to promote research and application of high technology in sports medicine.”
Currently, the application of science in sports has become a trend to protect athletes’ health and improve performance in a sustainable way. Around the world, the combination of motion capture systems, force sensors and biomechanical foundations has created a breakthrough for athletes who want to increase their performance effectively and safely. Some stars who have conducted movement analysis include Cristiano Ronaldo (soccer), Usain Bolt (athletics)…
The advanced Motion Lab system equipped at Vinmec is usually only available at leading medical centers in the world.
In particular, Golf is considered a “compatible” sport with this analysis technology due to its high requirements for comprehensive and meticulous coordination in each movement. In fact, many professional golfers have applied biomechanical methods to achieve high efficiency in competition such as Tiger Woods, Bryson Dechambeau, Jamie Sadlowski…
Pioneering in applying high technology to sports medicine, Vinmec received a strong response from the Vietnamese Golfer community. In the coming time, Vinmec expects to accompany VGA to help the Vietnamese Golf community develop professionally, gain a foothold in the region and go far in the international arena.
