Abstract:In this study, the kinematic characteristics of a Football players lofted kick and instep kick were compared. In this study, ten [n=10] male football players, age 18 to 25, who were registered in LNIPE, NERC, with a mean age of 20.50.957 years, height of 169.833.236 cm and weight of 59.334.229 kg, were specifically selected. The entire skill (lofted kick and instep kick) will be captured through videography technique. Following the performance phase, the skill will be biomechanically analysed to identify Linear and Angular Kinematics variables using Kinovea software. A paried-t test was employed at the 0.05 level of significance to compare two distinct football skills, while mean and standard deviation were used as descriptive statistics. For all statistical conclusion Statistical Package for Social Sciences was utilized. Examining the outcomes makes it abundantly evident that the chosen Kinematics variables showed significant difference from each other, while the execution of lofted kick and instep kick, as the p value is less than the level of significance (
