Abstract

In this work we have made a cinematic analysis to find out the optimum velocity when taking a football penalty. We discovered that if the ball is aimed inside the post and 90 centimetres from, it at a velocity between 60 and 70 kg/h it is almost impossible that it can be stopped by the goal keeper. Therefore it is necessary to use training systems that carry out these requisites.
