Key Factors and Common Tendency of Heading Technique in Top Football Matches

First, the research conducts a comprehensive search of the existing literature to understand the current research status and existing research gaps in football heading technique. Then, expert interviews are used to discuss the scientific and rational definition of indicators and related content used in this study and a questionnaire is developed to design an indicator system to evaluate "key factors of heading techniques in the 16th Euro Cup". There are 51 matches in the 16th European Cup. This paper makes a statistical analysis of 41 technical action indexes of 102 teams and the relationship between 41 indexes and the ideal effect of heading. It is concluded that 19 indexes, such as the times of the middle in the backfield and midfield, are significantly correlated with the ideal effect of headings. Then, the original data are statistically analyzed by Multiple Linear Regression Analysis to find out the quantitative relationship between the technical indexes of heading in top football matches and its ideal effect, which provides references for football training, technique analysis, and scientific research.
