Implementation of Biomechanical study in the soccer kick. An article in review.

In 400 words or less, summarise the findings of the article. In addition, comment on how the findings could be applied to the biomechanical service of soccer. What outcomes would you expect from implementing the testing? Do you see the study as being practical or relevant for implementation in soccer?

Anatomy and Biomechanical Analysis - Soccer Kick

1. Describe the joint movements using anatomical terminology of kicking a soccer ball. 2. Describe the kinematic analysis of movement. This should include displacements and velocities. Graphs with brief explanations are acceptable. Indicate whether the angular displacements are close to the maximal ranges of joint motion. 3. Explain the muscle activation patterns involved in production/control of movement. Graphs of EMG vs time are acceptable, with explanations of functions of each muscle. 4. Provide kinetic analysis of movement. Include an analysis of joint moments. Graphs of joint movements vs time, with explanations, are acceptable. 5. Interpret the relationships between... click for more
