Biomechanical characteristics of walking in representatives of women’s soccer at the age of 18 to 25 years

Abstract

The peculiarities of biomechanical parameters of walking of two groups of women were studied in a comparative analysis. The first group consisted of female soccer players of 18–25 years old, having the first sports category or the category of Candidate Master of Sports; the second group included people engaged in cyclic sports (skating, cross-country skiing). At the first stage we took measurements of the test subjects, which were then entered into a computer program. At the second stage, marker sensors were attached to the head, upper and lower extremities of the subjects so that the parameters could be read by Vicon devices in different planes (XYZ). In the third stage, the markers were tracked during the dynamic tests. Comparative analysis of the results and conclusions of the work were made.
