Online published on 16 October, 2018. Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the functional sports stockings on the performance of the golf players. The subjects were 8 KLPGA athletes and the study measured the difference in muscle activity during standing, maximal contraction, and during the golf swing according to wearing stockings. Each measurement was measured by a wireless assignment at 3-day intervals. The measured data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 statistical program using integral electromyography, and the corresponding sample T-test was conducted for the difference of the iEMG by the operation according to wearing the stockings. As a result of this study, the wearing of functional sports stockings increased the muscle strength and helped the leg muscles to be used effectively in the stance or the golf swing. As a result, the wearing of the functional sports stockings will be effective in improving the performance of the golf game. The wearing of the functional pressure clothes increased the maximum muscle strength, and showed the same strength of the standing arm due to the increased muscle strength, and less muscle force than the golf swing, resulting in a noted lower muscle activity. It is considered that in this case, it is confirmed that the wearing of pressure clothing in the golf game will help improve the performance.
