Landing is the common landing movement during running, or stepping downstairs. The simple landing movement not only needs the supporting of the human skeletal structure, but also the mutual muscle actions of lower extremities, in order to produce the landing movement stably and smoothly. There are three phases during the landing that include pre-landing, initial contact, and descending. And the lower extremity muscle will carry out the characteristics of pre-stretch, self-protect, stretch reflex and so on. However, the lower extremities muscles play an important role during landing. The aim of this study is insight into the muscle actions during landing period through the literature reviews of the patterns of stretch-shortening-cycle. This study provides and traces the issues of jump landing for the muscle action of lower extremities.
