Difference in the contribution of the support leg to generating interaction torque in soccer instep kicking between female and male players.

The study aimed to clarify the difference in the support leg dynamics and its mechanical role in producing the interaction torque acting on the kicking leg knee between female and male soccer players. Three-dimensional motion (500 Hz) and the ground reaction force (1000 Hz) were captured during the instep kicking of twenty female and twenty male players. Powers due to the support leg knee joint torque and the interaction torque were computed.

Sex difference in soccer instep kicking.

We aimed to clarify the differences in soccer instep kicking dynamics between sex groups. The instep kicking of seven female (height: 160.3 ± 6.

Differences in lower leg kinetics of soccer instep kicking between female and male players.

We aimed to clarify the difference in lower leg segment kinetics of soccer instep kicking between female and male players. Instep kicking motions of seven female and seven male university soccer players were captured at 500 Hz. Lower leg angular velocity, knee joint moment and the interaction moment acting on the lower leg were calculated.
