Abstract

Our study is concerned with the development of a mathematical model of the biomechanical system dynamics, based on the angular body posture (ABP), for generating high-impact instep kick. Instep kick is one of the most fundamental skills applied in many sports such as soccer, futsal, rugby or American football, swimming, martial art and sepaktakraw. For soccer and futsal, instep kick has been recognized for its role in goal scoring. This paper describes the 3D analysis of instep kicks based on data collected through controlled experiments at the National Sports Institute involving the Malaysian National Futsal team. Details of the method used are presented. This digitization of the images and the analysis are using Evart 5.0 software. Understanding the biomechanics system dynamics of the instep kicks will enable improvement of the kick performance, thus increasing the chance of scoring goals.
