Dynamic Analysis of the Instep Kicking

The study shows the dynamics and phases of the elements that act in an instep kicking.

Introduction

Although there are different ways of hitting a ball, the analysis was carried out on the instep, since it allows a more regular contact surface; as well as the conditions of the influencing elements in kicking dynamics. By means of mathematical methods and high-speed cameras, it was possible to quantify and represent the speed and accelerations of the foot and the ball and its center of gravity CGB, as well as the restitution force of the ball.

Methods

Subjects

Expert soccer players.

Testing and analysis

Balloon, cameras and software and software analytical methods.

The linear transformation DLT

Calibration of the 3 dimensions

Least squares method

Obtaining the curves of behavior curves

Results

Velocity, acceleration, displacement and reaction force curves.

Multiaxial foot interaction lasts impact.

95% ball speed occurs in phase III, the foot and the ball stop interacting when phase IV begins.

The impact interaction phases last 10 ms and at 4 ms the maximum deformation occurs.

Conclusions

The movement of the CGB and the deformation of the ball during the impact can be

IV phases are presented during the deformation ball.

The foot experiences axial movement during impact.

The maximum reaction force is 2930N.
