Soccer Kicking Biomechanics | Dr Neal Smith

Lecture 8 of the Sports Biomechanics Lecture Series #SportsBiomLS Neal Smith discusses the scientific literature on the topic of football / soccer kicking biomechanics. This includes an in-depth biomechanical breakdown of the kinematics of the soccer power kicking technique into separate phases, and specific reference to data from elite soccer players including Cristiano Ronaldo and his Knuckleball free kicks.
