Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Biomechanics
  • Athletic Performance Analysis

Background:

  • Sports injuries and athletic performance are complex, involving interdependencies.
  • The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) assesses jump-landing mechanics.
  • The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) evaluates flexibility and motor control in bodyweight movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the interdependency between the diagnostic information from LESS and FMS screening tools.
  • To identify potential relationships between functional movement patterns and jump-landing mechanics in athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-three athletes (31 professional soccer players, 22 collegiate athletes) were tested.
  • Data analysis included linear, partial correlational, and cluster analysis.
  • Evaluated LESS scores, jumping height, trunk control, and active straight leg raise (ASLR).

Main Results:

  • Trunk control moderately related to landing mechanics (r = 0.4; p < 0.01).
  • Landing mechanics negatively related to LESS height (r = -0.67, p < 0.01).
  • Higher ASLR scores trended with better landing mechanics, suggesting kinetic chain length influences performance.

Conclusions:

  • Trunk control and kinetic chain length (ASLR) are potential moderators of jump-landing mechanics.
  • Optimizing these parameters may improve landing performance and reduce injury risk.
  • Non-significant linear relationships between FMS and LESS may be due to cognitive strategy or muscle recruitment differences.
