Outline of Final Research Achievements

During the research period, two original papers were accepted for publication: one on the characteristics of pre-movement actions based on shooting situations (Matsukura & Hirashima, 2020), and another on the diving movements of soccer goalkeepers in different shooting situations (Matsukura et al., 2024). These research findings suggest that goalkeepers can anticipate and limit potential actions based on shooting situations, thereby finding specific pre-movement actions (pre-jumps) tailored to individual scenarios. For example, when the shooting angle is narrow, goalkeepers are less likely to perform diving movements by moving their feet. Therefore, adopting a wider stance during pre-jump can make it easier for goalkeepers to dive, thus enhancing their effectiveness in such situations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、トップレベルのゴールキーパー（GK）の事前動作とダイビング動作を詳細に分析することで、シュートに対する最適な対応方法を明らかにしました。これにより、GKのプレイメカニズムや効率的な動作の理解が深まり、スポーツ科学やコーチング理論の発展に寄与します。さらにGKトレーニングにおける具体的な改善点を提供し、実践的なトレーニングメニューの開発に役立ちます。これにより、GKのパフォーマンス向上が期待され、サッカー競技全体のレベルアップにもつながります。
