Answer:

Whether in soccer, in rugby or for football punts, kicking a ball primarily engages the muscles of the upper leg the quadriceps and hamstrings as well as the glutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The moment the ball leaves the foot, it stops accelerating, and from this point forward only two forces are exerted upon it: the friction with the air, which slows the ball's motion, and gravity, which pulls it down. It is very difficult to kick an American Football. A soccer ball is much easier to kick because it is big and round and a kicked soccer ball will go quite far but because a soccer ball is round it cannot be kicked accurately over long distances.
