Question and Hypothesis

 

Major Question



How does a curvilinear run-up around the man on the mark influence AFL kicking biomechanics and performance outcomes?  



Hypothesis: 

Using the momentum transfer to the ball, as well as the relationship between velocity and displacement, a hypothesis can be formed regarding the relationship between these variables.

If an AFL player utilises a curvilinear run up approach to a set shot, the horizontal and vertical displacement will increase. This is because the player will display a greater summation of forces, causing increased acceleration and therefore a greater value of momentum transferred to the ball.

Major Question Movement background/rationale: The AFL set shot is one of the most vital aspects of the game. If a free kick is secured within an appropriate distance of the attacking team’s goal, players will often decide to utilise a sixty second window with the intention of scoring from this free kick, these shots account for more than half of all goals scored in the AFL  (Anderson et al., 2018) . Capitalising on set shot opportunities are a major part of winning an AFL game. Refer to the grap...
