Abstract

The skill of swing period of kicking leg is an important factor to affect the athletic performance of soccer player. This paper analyzed the swing period using the biomechaical methods. The findings indicated that (1) the swinging process can be divided into forceful stretching, active backward swinging, forward thigh swinging, forward leg swinging stage, and kicking ball stage according to the method of combining the swinging sequence of the swinging leg with the swinging speed in soccer playing; (2) forceful stretching stage is an important part that cannot be ignored; (3) at the active backward swinging stage, the swinging leg should swing as forceful as possible under the precondition that it does not affect the forward swinging speed; (4) after the thigh swing backward to the most extent, it should get into the forward thigh swinging stage quickly in order to avoid loosening anterior muscles of the thigh and destroying the integrity of plyometric contraction; and (5) the range of forward leg swinging should not be too large.
