  "abstract": "Objectives: Single-leg landing protocols differ in task components. We estimated pattern differences in vertical time to stabilization (V-TTS) and the Dynamic Postural Stability Index (DPSI) at two individualized heights, with 95% confidence intervals, and tested whether they changed with height.\n\nMethods: In a within-participant 3 × 2 factorial experiment, twenty-three healthy young male strength and conditioning students (5.7 ± 3.2 years of systematic sports training) completed randomized step-off (SOL), single-leg jump (SLJL), and single-leg hop (SLHL) landings at two individualized drop heights derived from countermovement jumps. Linear mixed-effects models tested pattern, height, and interaction effects on TTS and DPSI; statistical parametric mapping compared take-off and landing force waveforms.\n\nResults: Pattern × Height interactions occurred for V-TTS (p = 0.004) and DPSI (p = 0.001). At Low, the largest contrasts were SLHL-SOL for V-TTS (0.15 s; 95% CI, 0.11 to 0.20) and DPSI (0.079; 95% CI, 0.066 to 0.092; adjusted p < 0.001 for both). At High, both active patterns differed from SOL (V-TTS, 0.06-0.07 s; DPSI, 0.041-0.054; adjusted p ≤ 0.014) with no clear difference between the active patterns after adjustment. The SLHL–SOL and SLHL–SLJL differences for V-TTS and the SLJL–SOL and SLHL–SOL differences for DPSI were larger at Low, whereas the V-TTS SLJL–SOL and DPSI SLHL–SLJL contrasts showed no clear change. Horizontal TTS showed no adjusted differences. Take-off and landing interactions involved all force components.\n\nConclusions: In healthy young men, movement initiation pattern altered V-TTS and DPSI at both heights, and some differences varied with height. Cross-study comparisons should match initiation pattern and prescribed height.",
