Football Biomechanics

Football Biomechanics explores the latest knowledge of this core discipline in sport sci-
ence across all codes of the sport. Encompassing a variety of styles, including original
scientific studies, syntheses of the latest research, and position statements, the text offers
readers the most up-to-date and comprehensive reference of the underlying mechanics of
high-level football performance.
The book is divided into five parts, covering fundamental football actions, the biome-
chanics of direct free kicks, footwear, biomechanical considerations in skill acquisition
and training, and artificial turf. It bridges the gap between theory and practice in a variety
of key areas such as:

•• ball kicking mechanics (in soccer and other football codes)


• ball impact dynamics
• aerodynamics of ball flight
• special techniques (such as the ‘knuckle ball shot’) by world-famous players
• the efficacy and development of footwear
• biomechanical and motor performance differences between female and male soccer
players

Preface

During a football match, we sometimes witness magnificent performances by top


footballers. For example, the soccer ball changes its flight path to bend around an
opponent player’s wall or to unpredictably move right and left, or up and down
like a butterfly in flight. People in the stadium or those in front of a TV might
question whether the players used some magic or if they are even free from the
laws of physics. From the viewpoint of sports biomechanics the answer,
however, is ‘No’. Evidently, they are not inhabitants of a magic world, even
though they are great practitioners of the laws of physics, whether they know it
or not.
Sports biomechanics is a quantitative-based sport science discipline, playing
an important role in the scientific application to the football field. In this subfield
of biomechanics, the laws of physics are applied in order to gain an understanding
of athletic performances through motion capture, mathematical modelling,
computer simulation and other methods of measurement, using advanced
technology. We are certain that the application of sports biomechanics in football,
known as Football Biomechanics, will open your eyes to the underlying
mechanics of high-level football performances.
This volume of Football Biomechanics includes the latest biomechanical
knowledge covering football actions (Part I), direct free kicks (Part II), footwear
(Part III), skill acquisition and training (Part IV), and artificial turf (Part V).
Inside this volume, readers will find a unique variety of the styles of presentation
including the chapters that represent adaptations of original scientific studies, and
those which represent a synthesis and position statement of the current findings
in that area.
Part I outlines the latest biomechanical findings about definitive actions in
football. This includes four chapters covering the kicking actions of three
different football codes: soccer, rugby and Australian rules, and one chapter on
the action of the soccer throw-in.
Part II features the direct free kick in soccer. In this section, one chapter
focuses on the aerodynamics of the ball and two chapters illustrate technical
feature of special free kick (non-spinning knuckle shots), dissect the unique
knuckle shot technique of two world top players, and demonstrate the application
to training for achieving this technique.
xiv  Preface
Part III highlights the most important equipment used in football: footwear.
One chapter describes the design, which may help to improve kicking accuracy,
and the remaining three chapters provide an in-depth insight into the influence of
different football shoe–surfaces and the foot–shoe interactions of the players.
Part IV explores new aspects of football biomechanics. This section includes
one chapter providing a good example of evidence-based technical modification
of kicking, and another chapter describing a practical framework to refine well-
established kicking skills.
Part V provides useful information regarding artificial turf. This section
consists of one chapter focusing on the essential property of shock absorbency,
and two review chapters outlining the influence of artificial turf on injuries and
performance perspectives.
Finally, we are grateful to the researchers who generously provided their latest
research findings, thereby making this publication possible. We would like to
thanks to the following contributors: Katharina Althoff, Takeshi Asai, Alexandra
Atack, Kevin Ball, Neil Bezodis, Howie Carson, Dave Collins, Gijs Debuyck,

Sheets-Singer, Hironari Shinkai, Thorsten Sterzing, Gerda Strulzenberger
Sungchan Hong, Ine Van Caekenberghe, and Stacy Winter. We hope this book
will stimulate further biomechanical research in the football field and encourages
researchers to put theory into practice.
Part I

Football actions
1 Does biomechanical evidence
support coaching cues of
kicking?
Hiroyuki Nunome

1. Introduction
As the name explains, “Football” originally referred to a variety of games that
involve kicking a ball with foot to score a goal. Nowadays, we can see a diversity
of footballs (association football; rugby union; rugby league; Australian rules;
Gaelic football and gridiron football), all of which are known as football codes.
Among these different football codes, association football (soccer) is the one that
uses kicking the ball most frequently in the match. Thus, kicking is the defining
action of soccer (Lees, Asai, Andersen, Nunome & Sterzing, 2010) and it is also
the kicking technique that has been most widely studied from a biomechanical
perspective.
Without doubt, to improve kicking performance, we want to make players kick
a ball with more power. That has been the challenge for most soccer coaches.
A number of practical coaching cues do exist on how to kick the ball faster,
however, it seems that these coaching cues are sometimes not consistent with the
scientific knowledge contained in the literature. This might confuse both
researchers and coaches and thus create a gap between scientific knowledge and
practical coaching cues.
While there have been many studies on the biomechanics of kicking, there are
still a number of novel aspects of this skill to be explored. Recent advances in
technology also helped to widen our interest to consider several new aspects of
soccer kicking action, in particular actions just before and during ball impact. Our
research group has made a series of novel research attempts that focused on
soccer kicking. Through these studies, we obtained several unique and unex-
pected results, some of which support the coaching cues while others are not
consistent with practical instructions.
This chapter, therefore, aims not only to give an overview of recent findings of
soccer kicking biomechanics but also to shed some light on the veracity of some
practical coaching instructions from a biomechanical perspective.

2. Impact phase kinematics


Leg swing kinematics at or just before ball contact during kicking are important
for determining the resultant ball velocity, because there is a robust relationship
4   Hiroyuki Nunome
that exists between the final foot velocity and the resultant ball velocity (Asami
& Nolte, 1983; Barfield, 1995; Levanon & Dapena, 1998; Nunome, Lake,
Georgakis, & Stergioulas, 2006). It is logical to assume that to achieve maximal
ball velocity, the foot velocity should not decline before ball impact, but must be
maximized until the moment the foot makes contact with the ball. However, in
the literature or even in current text books of biomechanics, it has been shown
that the lower leg final linear or angular velocity levels off prior to ball impact
and then slightly declined towards ball impact.
Until recently, studies that have documented kicking kinematics have typically
captured limb movements at rates between 100 and 400 Hz (Andersen, Dörge &
Thomsen, 1999; Barfield, 1995; Dörge, Andersen, Sørensen & Simonsen, 2002;
Isokawa & Lees, 1988; Lees, 1996; Lees & Nolan, 1998; Levanon & Dapena,
1998; Nunome, Asai, Ikegami & Sakurai, 2002; Rodano & Tavana, 1993;
Teixeira, 1999) and then filtered the displacement data with a cut-off frequency
of 6–18 Hz (Andersen et al., 1999; Dörge et al., 2002; Nunome et al., 2002;
Teixeira, 1999). Although these procedures were appropriate for illustrating the
swing phase kinematics, it is unclear whether they can adequately capture and
describe movement characteristics around ball impact transient. This nature of
the leg swing formed our conventional understanding of the kicking leg motion.
Conversely, coaches often advise players to “kick through the ball” (LA84
Foundation, 1995; National Soccer Coaches Association of America, 2012)
which likely suggests that coaches encourage players to increase foot velocity
until the moment of ball impact.
To address this conflict, soccer full instep kicking kinematics were captured
using more advanced technology, which included a high-speed motion capture
(1000 Hz) and a new filtering procedure (time-frequency filtering), which allowed
changing of the cut-off frequency along the time-series (Nunome et al., 2006).
Key results from nine male amateur footballers are shown in Figure 1.1. The
change represents shank angular velocity just before, during and just after ball
impact. In the left panel shows the change using the high sampling frequency and
the novel filtering, and the right panel shows the change processed using a conven-
tional (re-sampled to 250 Hz and smoothed using a conventional filter with a low,
constant cut-off frequency of 10 Hz) procedure used in the literature.
In fact, as the raw change (narrow solid line) illustrates, the shank is still angu-
larly accelerating towards ball impact and the novel data treatment succeeded in
demonstrating a more representative change without noisy oscillations on the
baseline. In contrast, the conventional data treatment created a descending nature
of the shank angular velocity which apparently strayed out of the raw change.
This is a very important finding as this was the very pattern generally seen in the
previous studies, but when a more appropriate computing procedure is employed,
this pattern did not exist. From biomechanical perspective, it can be assumed that
sudden deceleration caused by ball impact would produce errors in its derivative
parameters in the last few frames before ball impact and this would be amplified
if smoothing was attempted through impact. This was a primary source of
misleading ball kicking biomechanics. However, most ball kicking studies have
Biomechanical evidence and coaching of kicking 5

Figure 1.1 C
 omparison of shank angular velocity changes just before, during and after
ball impact from two different filtering and sampling procedures. In the left
panel, high-speed sampled data (1000 Hz) smoothed by a time-frequency
filter is shown. In the right panel, raw data was re-sampled (250 Hz) and then
smoothed by a conventional filter at 10 Hz cut-off frequency is shown (modi-
fied from Nunome et al. (2006) in Journal of Sports Sciences)

failed to acknowledge this type of potential error, and it is often unclear how
displacement coordinates were smoothed (Isokawa & Lees, 1988; Rodano &
Tavana, 1993; Lees, 1996; Lees & Nolan, 1998).
This work was the first to provide evidence that strongly supports the above
practical advice of kicking by revealing a ‘more representative’ shank motion
around ball impact. The coaching perspective of “kicking through the ball” would
indeed be a cue that has direct application to actual kicking performance.

3. Ball impact dynamics


There are several instructions for kicking the ball with power, in which the impor-
tance of a good follow through has been frequently stressed (O’Challagan, 2010).
Barfield (2000) suggested that one primary objective of the follow through is to
keep the foot in touch with the ball as long as possible. Coaches, players and even
researchers believe that skilled players are capable of pushing the ball longer than
less skilled players, thereby increasing the resultant ball velocity. This coaching
cue has a sound theoretical underpinning because the final momentum of the ball
is determined by the amount of impulse applied to the ball (impulse-momentum
theorem). If players can apply more impulse to the ball by lengthening ball
contact time, the ball will gain more momentum, namely a “faster” resultant ball
velocity to be achieved.
