Rugby Biomechanics: Place Kicking | Dr Alexandra Atack

Lecture 10 of the Sports Biomechanics Lecture Series #SportsBiomLS Alexandra Atack discusses the scientific literature on the topic of rugby biomechanics with a focus on place kicking biomechanics. Implications are discussed for similar kicking sports such as football / soccer, American football, and Australian rules football. As well as a detailed breakdown of rugby place kicking biomechanics, this talk includes a kinetic and kinematic comparison of players / shots that were successful, short, or inaccurate (wide).
