We're at beautiful Coto de Caza located one hour south of Los Angeles in the beautiful

Saddleback Mountains.

Coto de Caza is the site of the Kota Research Center founded in 1976 and completed in 1980.

The director of the Kota Research Center is Dr. Gideon Ariel, recognized as a world

leader in Biomek County.

The world's top athlete to symbol on a regular basis at the center for quick checkup on Dr.

Ariel's amazing computer, which carefully identifies each athlete's movement and quantifies

all forces.

Sounds complicated, but Dr. Ariel has made it simple and practical.

On Future Sports, we'll take a look at how we're all for the nurse care of the San

Diego Chargers, the place kicker deluxe.

We're all delighted to have you with it.

Time to come up here, Vic, and see how this all works.

I hope this doesn't prove that I should never have gotten past high school football.

Let's take a look.

By photographing several of Rolf's kicks on high-speed film from 100 frames a second,

sometimes up to 10,000 frames a second.

And then analyzing that film with computers, we're able to diagnose Rolf's kicking motion.

And Dr. Ariel explains the process of digitization.

Vic, this world fan is the key to digitizing.

Every time you touch with this fan, this sensitive screen, the information going right to the

computer.

With us here is Dr. Ann Penny.

She is going to digitize Rolf in his kicking process.

Every time she's touching the digitizer, the information on the location of this point

is going directly to our computer.

Our computer can do all the calculation to find out how much the segments move, how fast

they move, how they accelerate or decelerate, how much energy was lost towards the game,

how the information that future quadratic will use in order to increase performance

in the future.

What we see here is Rolf making an advance forward and abruptly stop with the non-kicking

leg.

This abrupt stop actually transfers energy to the kicking leg and by that enabling Rolf

to kick further.

The objectives of the kick care is running forward, utilize this energy and abruptly

stop the leg so we can transfer the energy to the kicking leg.

Let's look on it in a multiple image.

You see the non-kicking leg moving but at that point it abruptly stops and that's what

makes the other leg snap into the ball.

So Vic, the key to kicking is the non-kicking leg.

Rolf is amazing to me when you see that biomechanical analysis to find out how important

the left leg is even if you're right for the kicking.

You're right, I always knew it was important and I knew that if it was a wet grass field

that I would have a hard time kicking but now I really understand why.
