Document Summary

The purpose of this la(cid:271) (cid:449)as to a(cid:374)alyze the (cid:858)pla(cid:272)e ki(cid:272)k(cid:859) i(cid:374) a(cid:373)eri(cid:272)a(cid:374) foot(cid:271)all a(cid:374)d pro(cid:448)ide a detailed biomechanical breakdown of the movement. The athlete starts with both ankles in dorsiflexion and the contralateral knee and hip placed ahead of the kicking leg in flexion. This position shifts their body and center of mass forward. Perpendicular distance between the athlete and the point of application is increased by the athlete starting two steps backward and to the left of the football. The primary segments analyzed are both contralateral and ipsilateral hips, knees, and ankles. For visual reference, please see the following link https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=_bz_maeoggo. Dorsiflexion of both ankles to shift weight forward, body tilted forward [0:00] Lift ipsilateral foot off turf, start first step [0:07] Dorsiflexion of ipsilateral ankle so foot clears off the ground [0:09] Plantarflexion of contralateral ankle, lift contralateral foot off turf, start second step. Plant ipsilateral foot on turf ahead of body [0:12]
