Abstract
The present study aimed to clarify differences in segmental dynamics between the side-volley kick and the instep kick in soccer. Three-dimensional lower body motion (500 Hz) was captured during both types of kicks of twenty male soccer players. Joint angular velocities, resultant joint torque and interaction torque due to joint reaction forces of the kicking leg were computed using inverse dynamics. Statistical Parametric Mapping was used to compare these time-series changes. Despite the side-volley kick generating significantly smaller hip flexion torque than the instep kick, the hip joint angular velocity of the side-volley kick was comparable to that of the instep kick. This unique characteristic seen in the side-volley kick was most likely explained by weaker actions of the interaction torques and reduced reversal knee joint torque acting on the thigh segment.
