Analysis Of Some Biomechanical Variables To Predict The Accuracy Of Shooting Fixed Balls In Female Football Players

Abstract

The research aims to identify the values of some biomechanical variables and their relationship to the accuracy of shooting from fixed balls outside the penalty area among female soccer players, and to find predictive equations for them. The descriptive approach was used for correlational relationships. The sample included (10) female soccer players from the state of Batna in Algeria. The results showed that the independent mechanical (kinematic and kinetic) variables (kinetic energy, linear momentum of the ball, variables of the speed and angle of launch of the ball, the circumferential speed of the kicker’s foot, and the height of the body’s center of gravity at the moment of kicking the ball ) was suitable for predicting shooting accuracy. The researchers recommend using the research results in the selection and technical training process for this basic skill, in addition to the necessity of adopting predictive studies in the mechanical field in training, similar to other fields.
