The aim of this study was to clarify the lower limb motion involved in kicking a futsal ball using by the three-dimensional technique. The results show that the kicking performance of professional futsal players was as good as that of professional soccer players. On comparing our results with those of previous studies, we observed that the maximum-effort motion involved in kicking the futsal ball had the characteristics of both instep kicking and side-foot kicking, as seen in soccer players. Futsal coaches training players for powerful kicking should advise the players to use a combination of soccer-style instep kicking and futsal-style side-foot kicking.
