Kinetic chain is where by a notion these joints and segments have an effect on one another during movement. when one is in motion, it creates a chain of events that affects the movement of neighbouring joints and segments. Open chain is defined as a combination of successively arranged joints in which the terminal segment can move freely In an open-chain movement, the distal aspect of the extremity, or the end of the chain farthest from the body, moves freely and is not fixed to an object. Closing chain is defined as a condition or environment in which the distal segment meets considerable external resistance and restrains movement. In a closed-chain movement, the distal end of the extremity is fixed, emphasizing joint compression and, in turn, stabilizing the joints. …show more content…
There are a lot of action while playing soccer for example shooting, throwing in, catching the ball, kicking and etc. To explain the kinetic chain, I am going to use shooting as an example. When you are shooting the length of the final step in the swing determines acceleration or deceleration of the foot and can greatly impact the speed of the foot and the speed of the ball. Slowing of the centre of the body contributes to the acceleration of the open end of the kinetic chain which leads to a high speed of the foot. The speed of the ball is also largely impacted by the placing of the foot of the kicking leg explained that the speed of the ball increased when the contact surface used to kick the ball was closer to the centre of the foot of the kicking leg because the force resulted in an average highest speed of the ball. In the instep kick, the natural position of the body and foot allows for a high speed of the foot of the kicking leg and a high speed of the ball, unlike some other kicking
