AB  - OBJECTIVES: Compare overall Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores, risk 
      categorisation, specific LESS errors, and double-leg jump-landing jump heights 
      between overhead goal and no goal conditions. DESIGN: Randomised cross-over. 
      SETTING: Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: 76 (51% male). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 
      Participants landed from a 30-cm box to 50% of their body height and immediately 
      jumped vertically for maximum height. Participants completed three trials under 
      two random-ordered conditions: with and without overhead goal. Group-level mean 
      LESS scores, risk categorisation (5-error threshold), specific landing errors, 
      and jump heights were compared between conditions. RESULTS: Mean LESS scores were 
      greater (0.3 errors, p < 0.001) with the overhead goal, but this small difference 
      was not clinically meaningful. Similarly, although the number of high-risk 
      participants was greater with the overhead goal (p = 0.039), the 9.2% difference 
      was trivial. Participants jumped 2.7 cm higher with the overhead goal (p < 0.001) 
      without affecting the occurrence of any specific LESS errors. DISCUSSION: 
      Performing the LESS with an overhead goal enhances sport specificity and elicits 
      greater vertical jump performances with minimal change in landing errors and 
      injury-risk categorisation. Adding an overhead goal to LESS might enhance its 
      suitability for injury risk screening, although the predictive value of LESS with 
      an overhead goal needs confirmation.
