While various exercises have been studied, the impact of verbal instructions on landing mechanics remains unclear. This study aimed to identify instructional methods that effectively reduce AT load during drop vertical jumps (DVJs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty\u2010three healthy participants performed DVJs under five instructional conditions: (1) natural: no instruction; (2) posterior\u2010centre of pressure (COP): shifting the COP posteriorly; (3) hip\u2010flexion: increasing hip flexion; (4) knee\u2010flexion: increasing knee flexion; and (5) quiet\u2010landing: minimising landing sound. A three\u2010dimensional motion analysis system recorded peak AT force, loading rate, joint angles, ground reaction force (GRF) and COP position. Data were analysed using the Friedman test, the Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test with Holm's correction and effect size (ES).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Peak AT force was significantly lower in hip\u2010flexion and posterior\u2010COP compared to natural (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001, ES\u2009=\u2009\u22120.87 and \u22120.82, respectively).

Hip\u2010flexion, knee\u2010flexion and quiet\u2010landing increased hip flexion (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while knee\u2010flexion and quiet\u2010landing increased knee flexion (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) compared to natural.
