Enhancing Sports Movement Execution Accuracy Through Timely Feedback

Abstract

This project focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of biomechanical feedback in improving soccer kicking accuracy among healthy adult participants. Participants were instructed to perform a series of kicks toward predefined target zones, with half receiving real-time feedback while the other half did not. Each kick was recorded on video, and a Python made script was used to detect the point of impact and calculate the error distance from the intended target. The study aimed to determine whether visual and positional feedback could enhance performance consistency, reduce error propagation, and support skill acquisition over time. By comparing average error data across various kick attempts and target areas, the project provided insights into the learning effects associated with feedback in a sports training context.
