BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF PENALTY CORNER PUSH–IN

Viswanath. S, Kalidasan. R

Abstract :

The aim of this study was to analyse the selected biomechanical factors in penalty corner push- in. Men (n=24) Hockey players represented university were purposively selected from Tamil Nadu state, India for this study, the age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 28 years. The subjects had past playing experience of at least four years in hockey. Written informed consent was obtained from players. The ethical clearance for this project was obtained from the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Bharathidasan University. The high definition camera (Casio EX 10) was used to record the performances that were approximately transverse to the trajectory of the ball of the push in; camera operating at shutter speed of 1/8000, with a frame rate of 240 frames per second was used. Video footage was digitized using Max traq software for data analysis of stance width, relative stance width, ball to front foot distance, stick angle, drag distance, drag acceleration, stick velocity and ball speed. The collected data was statistically analysed by using descriptive statistics and pearson’s correlation coefficients. The finding reveals that the stance width has significant relationship with ball speed. Among the selected variables stance width and drag distance having highest relationship.
