Abstract

Kicking movement is process of moving position on leg. Biomechanical analysis explains kick performance which influenced by kinematics and kinetics factors. The research purpose analyzed biomechanical long pass movement. This research is both qualitative and quantitative. The research sample are 11 Indonesian woman football players who were taken by saturated sampling. Data in the form of long pass kick video with airborne ball test. Data analyzing used Kinovea software to determine the flexion angle of backswing kick leg, hip angle, and distance to target, then looking for the force, power, and energy in kick motion. The motion analysis shown that sample 3 produces closest distance to target as far as 0.65 m which done with flexion angle of backswing knee is 740 and hip angle of 640. The force exerted by sample 3 is 10.09 N, resulting in a ball speed of 22.42 m/s and a kinetic energy of 113.12 Joule, potential energy of 14.64 Joule and mechanical energy of 127.76 Joule.
