Abstract
Aim:
To assess the relationship between selected biomechanical variables
with the performance of kicking for distance in soccer. Material
and Methods: Fifteen randomly selected female students aged
18-25 years from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (Punjab, India)
volunteered to participate in the study. The data was collected by the
help of BIOKIN 4.5-2D motion analysis system. The Pearson’s
product moment correlation coefficient method was used to measure the
relationship between selected biomechanical variables with the
performance of kicking for distance in soccer. The level of
significance was set at 0.05.
Results:
The angle of knee joint and hip
joint have significant relationships with the performance of subjects
during the stance.
Conclusion: The angle
of knee joint and hip joint significantly influences the performance of
kicking for distance in soccer. Training focussing on the development
of hip joint and knee joint is recommended.
