Abstract
Most of the physical activity carried out in soccer consists of either primary movements (e.g. sprinting, jumping etc.) or kicking a football (with the aim being either an accurate pass to another player or the scoring of a goal). This chapter describes a number of studies that have been carried out to examine the physical interactions that occur during these situations.
