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.…”
