Kinetic Asymmetry During a Repetitive Tuck Jump Task in Athletes with a History of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by Adam W. VanZile, Matthew J. Snyder, Emily A. Watkins, Jithmie Jayawickrema, Tricia L. Widenhoefer, Thomas G. Almonroeder

“…# Background Athletes who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction typically exhibit relatively high/rapid loading of their uninvolved limb during bilateral landing and jumping (vs. their limb that underwent reconstruction), which may place their uninvolved limb at risk for injury. …”

Female Adolescent Soccer Players Utilize Different Neuromuscular Strategies Between Limbs During the Propulsion Phase of a Lateral Vertical Jump by Matthew D DeLang, Joseph P Hannon, Shiho Goto, James M Bothwell, J Craig Garrison

“…Energy generation contribution was significantly greater in the dominant hip (dominant 29.7±8.6%, non-dominant 18.4±6.3%, p\<0.001) and non-dominant knee (dominant 22.8±6.8%, non-dominant 36.2±8.5%, p\<0.001). # Conclusion High demand on coordination and motor control during the lateral vertical jump and inherent limb dominance may explain different intra-limb strategies for task performance despite jump height symmetry. …”

The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) and Lower Limb Power Profiles in Elite Rugby Union Players by Stephen Rowell, Nicola Relph

“…Participants scoring moderate to poor in the LESS recorded significantly higher power and reactive strength index, increased contact time but not jump height. This suggests participants with high-risk landing biomechanics may also produce higher performance measures, but these do not necessarily result in an improved jump height.…”
