Do players strike the ball with a particular location on their foot? Our new paper found impact location on the foot influenced energy transfer, ankle motion and ball flight path. Published open access in @JSportsSci: doi.org/10.1080/026404… @iHealthSportVU @kevballkicking

@robaughey @kevballkicking Did he introduce the conference as science and footy or science and football?

And first possession (hard ball get) for #WCSF2019 goes to @kevballkicking (& first dad joke!)

@_stephblair @kevballkicking @Robertson_SJ @duthieg @iHealthSportVU Woohoo!

PhD thesis submitted 🥂🎉 Many thanks to my supervisors @kevballkicking @Robertson_SJ @duthieg @iHealthSportVU

@James_Peacock1 putting forward a great presentation in the #ISBS2018 New Investigator Award semi finals. Maintain a firm ankle during impact to improve your punting performance.

@robaughey @kevballkicking @iHealthSportVU Cheers Rob!

Nice one @James_Peacock1 and @kevballkicking great work from @iHealthSportVU resident kicking experts!

Does foot-to-ball impact influence kicking accuracy? Our new paper identifies impact location between foot and ball, among others, as crucial for accuracy. PLUS a new method to calculate impact location in 3d space doi.org/10.1016/j.humo… @kevballkicking @iHealthSportVU

Unhappy with the inclusion of VAR at the FIFA World Cup? Slow motion replay (as used in VAR) results in higher accuracy scores for complex technical decisions. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Aerodynamic modelling of the 2018 FIFA World Cup ball (Adidas Telstar 18): - Long kicks will be 9-10% shorter in distance than 2014 World Cup due to different aerodynamic properties of the ball. - Knuckling effects are comparable. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Strategies to increase impact efficiency in football kicking: doi.org/10.1080/147631… Our latest article with the mechanical kicking machine, published in @sportsbiomechj. Useful information for coaches wanting to provide feedback on impact during the kick. @kevballkicking

Does anyone have a copy of Arutyunyan, G. A, Gurfinkel, V. S., & Mirskii, M. L. (1968). Investigation of aiming at a target. Biophysics, 13, 536-538? I have a copy , but it's not in English, and it's a scanned image so I can't attempt Google translate. TIA

Great new work by Nunome, et al. (tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…) Different task demands (50%, 75%, 100% effort soccer kicking) influenced leg swing and foot-ball impact. Interesting that, while only one task constraint was manipulated, multiple components of technique changed.

First publication of the study that began my journey in swimming and research tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Grateful for the opportunities that have followed since @elainetor13, @kevballkicking, @Superinteractiv, @sportsbiomechj @VicInstSport @ISEALVicUni

@Jozo_Grgic More Jozo brilliance! Nice!
