Positional Comparison of Footballers' Ball Kicking Techniques, Leg Strength and Shooting Accuracy Percentages
Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the differences of foot pressure points, shot accuracy percentages, leg strength values of footballers at the moment of kicking the ball with different techniques according to their positions. The research group consisted of U-17 and U-19 football players of Erzurumspor FK team. W-INSHOE brand device was used to determine the knee and hip strength of the footballers at 60o angular velocity and foot pressure points at the moment of kicking the ball. SPSS v20 package programme was used for data analysis and statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. The normal distribution of continuous variables was analysed by Shapiro Wilk-W test, Kolmogorov Simirnov test, Q-Q graph, skewness and kurtosis. According to the results, it was determined that there was a statistical difference in favour of defenders in the pressure parameter in the L2 and L5 sensors inside the foot and in the L2 sensor outside the foot, in favour of forwards in the L6 sensor above the foot, in favour of forwards in the technical score parameter the second score when kicking the ball outside the foot and in the total score outside the foot, in the knee and hip strength parameter, in the peak torque extension movement in the hip joint, in favour of forwards. As a result, it is seen that the strikers who participated in the study are better in both technical scoring and hip strength in line with the needs of the position they play compared to other positions.
