Task: Place kick in football
Starting Position: The person begins in a standing position. Hips are flexed so that the persons body weight is
over the contralateral foot and both ankles are dorsiflexed. The contralateral leg (the one that is placed more
anteriorly) has the knee joint more extended than the ipsilateral leg. The analysis is focused on the feet, ankles,
hips, trunk and arms.

Document Summary
Starting position: the person begins in a standing position. Hips are exed so that the persons body weight is over the contralateral foot and both ankles are dorsi exed. The contralateral leg (the one that is placed more anteriorly) has the knee joint more extended than the ipsilateral leg. The analysis is focused on the feet, ankles, hips, trunk and arms. Dorsi exion of both ankles to shift body weight forward, body tilted forward [0:00] Plantar exion of ipsilateral ankle so foot clears the ground [0:09] Plantar exion of contralateral ankle, left contralateral foot off of turf, start second step [0:11] Plant ipsilateral foot on turf ahead of body [0:12] Dorsi exion of contralateral ankle so foot clears the ground [0:14] Lift ipsilateral foot off turf, start kick execution [0:17] Plant contralateral foot on turf ahead of body [0:19] These combines motions in 3 planes is also known as circumduction of the hip.
