Analyzing Shooting Measurements in Football: An Exhaustive Review and Novel Findings

Abstract

This article comprehensively reviews football shooting analysis, discussing the most recent techniques and tools and proposing new ways to investigate shooting performance. The analysis demonstrates that measuring shooting parameters using various tools and techniques is possible precisely. However, most of these methods have limitations, such as expensive apparatus, a lack of real-time feedback, or the need for manual data processing. Wearable sensors and data integration are proposed as solutions for overcoming these obstacles. The review highlights the significance of shooting analysis in football and the potential of new technologies to enhance this process, thereby providing coaches and players with valuable insights. Validating these approaches and exploring their maximum potential in football analysis requires additional research. Moreover, the approaches proposed in this study have the potential to increase the performance of individual players and team tactics. Coaches and players can better understand the team's strengths and weaknesses by combining shooting data with other performance metrics, such as player movement and team tactics. It can improve game-time decision-making and ultimately enhance the team's overall performance. The ability to monitor player fatigue and injury risk is another potential advantage of using wearable sensors and real-time feedback in shooting analysis. By consistently measuring shooting parameters, coaches and medical personnel can determine when a player's shooting technique is compromised due to fatigue or injury. Additional research is required to validate and realize these proposed approaches' potential thoroughly.
