This paper shows a kinematic analysis of the penalty and free kick in soccer in order to write an algorithm to identify the phases of movement when executing said kicks. At the beginning of the paper, there is a short review of similar and previous investigations, which serve as a foundation for this work. Then, the motion capture (MoCap) system used to develop this research and the phases detection methodology are described, and finally, the results from the MoCap process for kicking and their mathematical descriptions are shown. Those results aim to a trend on the execution of the kick in terms of movement phases, sorted as: approaching, counter-movement, swinging of the attacking leg, foot-ball impact, and post-impact. An algorithm to detect the exact moments those phases start, using motion capture info, was written. |
