Swing-Load Movement Analysis

After those two phases, the swing - load phase is next. This phase is when you start to make your approach. The approach steps usually consist of three steps. These steps are the jab step, the drive step, and the foot that is placed laterally of the football. The lower leg muscles play a huge role in kicking a field goal. It is recommended that the athlete has strong quadricep muscles. The psoas major, erector spinae, abdominals, and the spinal postural muscles are usually stable. The body has two hip bones. However, the psoas major, psoas minor, adductor longus, adductor brevis, iliacus, and the rectus femoris helps with the assistance of flexion to the right hip. When the tensor fasciae latae is flexed, internal rotation of the hip occurs. The
These quadricep muscles extends both knees. The right ankle plantarflexions, allowing the foot to bend in an inferior motion with an eccentric movement. The left shoulder adducts horizontally. This horizontal adduction includes the biceps brachii, anterior deltoid, and pectoralis major muscles. If something is adducting from another, it means that it is moving in an eccentric motion. Always make sure your lumbar spine is in its correct position and that you are not leaning backwards. If not done correctly, it can interfere with the performance of the kick. While approaching the target, arms should be moving in both a swift concentric and eccentric motion. As the arm muscles are flexing and extending, the leg muscles are doing the same, moving in a rapid motion as well. Once the plant foot is in an isometric position, the other leg should be cocked back one last time preparing for the kick. This is when the knee extensor muscles increase. The thigh flourishes forward as the lower part of the leg makes its way down to contact the ball. Knee extensors are the major key that helps the leg to drive and extend
