ZenoLink Soccer Kick Kinetic Link

Soccer kick kinetic link from an elite male collegiate player.

Sequence: Pelvis rotates rapidly in a counter clockwise direction, just after plant leg contact with ground. Pelvis then quickly decelerates as the kick leg hip rapidly flexes, resulting in knee flexion, loading the quad (stretch-shorten, active eccentric load). Just before the foot strikes the ball, hip flexion decelerates, facilitating a ballistic knee extension of the kick leg.
