This study aimed to clarify whether the stiffness of the supporting leg affects the trunk kinematics during kicking and kicking performance in soccer players. Twenty-two male collegiate soccer players participated in the study. The data for the stiffness properties of the supporting leg and trunk kinematics were obtained and calculated using a 3-dimensional motion analysis system. The results showed that a greater leg stiffness of the supporting leg was associated with a lower trunk rotation angle during kicking. There were no significant correlations between the maximum swing speed and the stiffness of the supporting leg (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). These results suggest that stiffness of the supporting leg may restrain trunk rotation during the kicking motion. However, the lack of a relationship with swing speed indicates the need for further investigation into its effects on kicking performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jab.2023-0301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,18]],"date-time":"2024-09-18T17:26:50Z","timestamp":1726680410000},"page":"512-517","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Relationship Between Supporting Leg Stiffness and Trunk Kinematics of the Kicking Leg During Soccer Kicking"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"40","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2972-5745","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Akihiro","family":"Tamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Sport Science, Nippon Sport Science University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keita","family":"Shimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, Tokyo International University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuri","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Nursing and Rehabilitation, Konan Women\u2019s University, Hyogo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"r1","series-title":"Int J Sports Sci Coach","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1019","DOI":"10.1260\/1747-9541.9.5.1019","article-title":"Soccer: detailed analysis of played passes in the UEFA Euro 2012","volume":"9","author":"Mitschke C","year":"2014","unstructured":"Mitschke C, Milani TL.
