Effect of Functional Fatigue on Landing Mechanics using Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)

One of the factors affecting jump-landing patterns is fatigue. Fatigue is an inevitable component of physical activity, hence the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of functional fatigue on landing mechanics through Landing Error Scoring System (LESS).Fourteen male college students with a mean age of 22±2 years, weight of 68.3±7.2 kg and height of 174±4 were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. Effect of independent variable, fatigue, due to activities resembling athletic training or competition (6- stations functional fatigue protocol) on dependent variable, landing mechanics, through pre test-post test was investigated. The independent t-tests and non-parametric U-Mann Whitney test was used for statistical analysis of data (P
