Background: Student-athletes who are still experiencing physical and psychological growth and developmentally immature are prone to getting sports injuries. Landing Error Scoring System(LESS) is a screening tool to assess the risk of injury to determine the movement error of jumping and landing. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find the scientific evidence regarding the role of LESS concerning lower extremity injuries. Methods: This cross-sectional study involving eighty-seven participants from six sports divisions at the Pusat Pelatihan Olahraga Pelajar (PPOP) DKI Jakarta. The participants performed history taking, physical examination, and jump-landing tasks using LESS analysis. Participants will be monitored for three months to determine the lower extremity injuries event. In addition to the results of LESS, gender, history of previous injuries in the last six months, and body posture alignment will also be analyzed in conjunction with lower extremity injuries using SPSS v.20.0 software. Results: The average of 16-year-old participants with boys more than girls (60.9%). LESS result, gender and body posture alignment did not show a significant association with lower extremity injuries (P > 0.05). History of previous injuries in the last six months and duration of training less than five years had a significant relationship with lower extremity injuries (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). Conclusions: The application of the LESS test for assessing the risk of lower extremity injuries in athletes of PPOP needs further research. Because lower extremity injuries may be due to other risk factors such as a history of previous injuries and the duration of the training, the more in-depth pre-participation examination of athletes for injury risk factor screening is needed.
