Abstract
The Landing Error Scoring system (LESS) is a reliable screening tool for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury. The test is focused on biomechanical errors of landing motion and is used to evaluate the risk of knee injuries in several sports, such as football and basketball, which involve repeated jumping demands. Presently, available LESS data from youth volleyball players is limited, thus screening for injury risk has not been comprehensively undertaken in this cohort. The LESS is typically performed by jumping from a box while video motion in 2 sagittal and frontal planes is recorded, with the jump landing rated against 17-items. A total of 233 players performed three jump landing trials resulting in a total of 1398 videos being recorded. Each LESS score item was rated by two physical therapists and one sports scientist and the data were separated into four separate LESS score categories: excellent (≤4), good (4 - 5), moderate (5 - 6), and poor (>6). Descriptive analysis (percentage) was employed to describe the data, with scores subdivided by gender. The data may be applied to identify youth volleyball players at potential risk of sustaining a lower body injury from poor landing biomechanics.
