Abstract

Human Movement and Sports Science

diving save

goalkeeper

kinematics

kinetics

dominant

This study focuses on the biomechanical aspects of elite football goalkeepers' making diving saves at different heights and to different sides of their body in order to identify potential weaknesses in goalkeeping perform-ance. The object of this study was to identify and quantify the kinematic and kinetic parameters for a goalkeeper's div-ing saves. Due to a paucity of research particular attention was paid to symmetry differences made between dominant (preferred kicking leg) and non-dominant sides of the body (non preferred kicking leg).
