Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries commonly occur during jump-landing tasks when individuals' attention is simultaneously allocated to other objects and tasks. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of allocation of attention imposed by a secondary cognitive task on landing mechanics and jump performance. Thirty-eight recreational athletes performed a jump-landing task in three conditions: no counting, counting backward by 1s from a randomly given number, and counting backward by 7s from a randomly given number. Three-dimensional kinematics and ground reaction forces were collected and analysed. Participants demonstrated decreased knee flexion angles at initial contact (p=0.001) for the counting by 1s condition compared with the no counting condition. Participants also showed increased peak posterior and vertical ground reaction forces during the first 100ms of landing (p0.023) and decreased jump height (p
