Analyzing the kinematic indicators intervening in shooting skill in football

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze some kinematic indicators related to the skill of shoot the ball in football. To achieve the objectives of this study we used the programme Kinovea to analyze and segment the skill as well as measure the kinematic indicators under study. The sample of the study was intentional and consisted of the world champion in Football. One of the most important results of the research is that the time of implementation of shooting is small (about 0.29 s), which led to the improvement of the values of the kinematic indicators associated like the speed and acceleration, and the values of degrees of angles of the body joints were within the typical motor range, especially the hip and knee.The results of the research also recommended the need to develop the physical abilities related to perfect shooting, which is the speed of motor response and flexibility.
