An investigation into the impact force experienced by different types of footballs
The impact force of kicking varies with different materials and the estimated force in powerful (maximal velocity) instep kick was 1100N (Tsaousidis and Zatsiorsky, 1996). The force may cause injuries and stress accumulated on the foot especially in novices, due to unfamiliar skill. Rubber is durable, cheap but stiffer; TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and PU (Polyurethane) material has higher elasticity and impact absorbability. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact force, max velocity and travelling distance with different material footballs.
