Amount Of Air In Soccer

Our project is centered around soccer. It is designed to benefit those who play the sport, especially those who participate in it professionally. Now, what we aimed to find out in our experiment, is whether or not the amount of air inputted into a soccer ball would affect the ball’s travel distance. Along with that, we hoped to learn which amount of air would deliver the furthest distance. And potentially with this knowledge, those who play the sport, will know to what amount they should fill their ball to, in order to gain the best performance, distance wise. Although results may vary among players. This is just a general observation, with a certain and consistent amount of force.

The experiment contains the three basic variables, the independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent variables are two of the different amounts of air that were applied to the ball, throughout our testings. They were 8 ounces, and 20 ounces of air. Next, is the dependent, which is the distance the ball traveled. Finally, the controlled variable, was the ball with the average amount of air that is typically inserted to the ball in professional games. This amount was, 14 ounces of air.
Naturally making our question, should soccer players use balls that have a high amount of air or less inflated balls during their
