Kinematics Analysis of Instep Shot in Different Heights

Abstract

Using biomechanical test system to reveal the kinematics parameters of instep shot in different heights in soccer players. Twelve healthy male college students voluntarily participated in this study. After digitizing the recording collected by camera, this study reached the following conclusion that (1) In instep front shot the lower the contact height with ball during kicking, the faster the ball velocity. Therefore, the author put forward a proposal that in order to obtain the faster ball velocity, the kicking ball point should be lower, and (2) the player can control the ball velocity, ball trajectory, and the time of technique by controlling the vertical distance between support leg and ball.
