Analysis of torques and forces applied on limbs and joints of lower extremities in free kick in football

A 3- link model to simulate linear and rotational forces and moments of leg during kicking is presented. The effect of these forces and moments on lower extremity joints is studied. According to the time period of applied impact and changes in momentums of ball and foot of the picky before and after the impact, input force to system is calculated. Then, by solving dynamical equations of the system, forces and torques applied on each limb and joint of lower extremities are calculated. According to the results of this study, it is possible to scrutiny injuries of lower extremity joints.
