Wow this is stellar work. I have always wanted to know the science and body knowledge behind power hits. If only I knew and came across this years ago. I would have practiced with such knowledge in mind.
Great video and analysis! I'm still in my studies and a few points I would like to bring up from what I've studied and responses from few players (national level) The importance of dropping the foot on both passing and shooting is paramount. Essentially one should strive to 'kick with their knee' 90% of the time. Having full flexion of the foot and 'dropping it down' on ball strikes creates a firmer pass with less effort.. This max leverage becomes particularly advantageous when shooting. A tennis player will always keep their elbow fully retracted in the same way for serving. The final point I wish to make is the balancing foot which might lift eyebrows. In most scenarios.. balanced foot should be 90% straight on ball contact and become straight in follow through and foot pivot gives the ball its curl bend and dip. Sinisa Mihajlovic (scored 66 FK's against the best) he takes the same run up for every shot regardless of angle or distance.. his balance foot is straight just after ball impact I'm sure if you watch Carlos.. on ball impact the balanced foot stays locked straight. For some strange reason I hear many say to lock the ankle when kicking FK's ?? But how can spin be fully generated if the foot isn't used to turn the ball?? When throwing a ball.. how do we generate spin if we keep our wrists locked ???
Hi ! Great comment. Could you elaborate on what you mean by “kick with the knee” as it relates to dropping the foot. I am not quite sure what you mean and I am interested
@@zanegrady1011 Hey! Keep your knee fully bent while swinging your leg all the way down until you see your knee at the ball.. then drop your foot down to the ball. It's a just a simple bio mechanical whipping motion. Nothing special or to overthink here.. should be one easy and smooth swing. - Hip to knee is to generate power - Knee to foot generates speed It's just like giving someone a back hander across the face.. keep your elbow bent until the strike 🤣 hope that helps
What is the knee rotation angle while kicking. And at what angle knee is pulled back to the glute while kicking?. Does the hips slightly turn while kicking
Hi Abdul. I believe the knee and hip joint angles during various phases of the kicking motion are explained in the video, but please let me know if the information you wanted is not covered.
@@biomechstu Hi Actually many people have knee pain when they kick is it becuase they are not rotating there hips slightly inward?? And does too much of knee external rotation during downswing cause pain. So can it avoided like i said moving the hip slightly inward during follow through or any other method?
Hi. I won't claim to be an expert on the biomechanics of kicking. I could have a guess, but I don't know what research has been done, etc. I suggest you contact the presenter if you are interested in more specific details of their presentation.
@@strikerz2668 Knee pain when the kick is most likely from hyperextension of the kicking foot from not enough ball contact. The knee should be fully extended when it reaches the frontline of the ball. This way the ball absorbs the foots hyperextension (on the whip) and also because the longer the ball stays on the foot.. the better the accuracy gets. This should be practised for most FK's except long goal kicks KNUCKLEBALLing is tricky.. hitting hard, flat with barely any follow through especially beginners is problematic. My suggestion would be to focus on using and tensing upper chest and arms.. your body is a spring.. use it all !! Good luck
@@djfunkychicken hi ,yea like you said focusing bit on upper body while kicking helps forget bit of knee pain. Especially focusing deeply on planted foot also.

You’re amazing. Thanks for your research and this great presentation. “Indiana Jones Whip” perfect analogy.

great video when considering return to sport from injury especially around the supporting limb and hips. Thank you.

This video is amazing huge thanks
Your researcher should try using a Kalman filter to try reducing the noise happening during the impact with the ball.
Amazing Vedio
Very good 👌
Sounds intresting
