Abstract

Soccer sport in Malaysia has yet far to reach the targeted achievement. It was noted that it had only managed to be in the ranking of 160 in the FIFA and also in the 29th place in the football confederation Asia (AFC) giving indication that the national soccer team is expected to strive harder for better achievement. After being examined, the national soccer team is proven to be weak in the kicking techniques. This paper will focus on the biomechanics analysis of the national soccer players as well as identifying their kicking action and technique using the instep kicking. Two subjects had been chosen to perform instep kick whom both of them are the experts in the Malaysian football league, with the first subject having the capability to use his right leg and the other subject being comfortable of using his left leg. Data management and analysis adapting Silicon Pro Coach software whereas thestatistical analysis was carried out using Minitab software. Image of instep kicking was captured during the study and is useful to get the data of the style of kicking so that it can be analyzed. From here, the data for velocity, acceleration, angle of ankle and distance involved in kicking activity is possible to be identified. Based on the findings, the velocity and distance was identified as significant to the force model. This study has shown that the highest average distance and the modelling equation produced in the force model analysis undergone three-step run.
